Sydney’s Regulating the Game conference opens Call for Speakers for March 2027 event

Leading Australian gambling law and regulation forum Regulating the Game says it has opened its Call for Speakers for the seventh edition of the conference, to be held from Monday 8 to Wednesday 10 March 2027 at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.

Regulating the Game convenes regulators, policy makers, operators, compliance and integrity professionals, manufacturers and suppliers, clinicians, researchers, academics and advisers as part of a program designed to strengthen individual and organizational capability and deepen sector knowledge. It aims to advance informed dialogue on evidence led policy, contemporary regulatory practice and the integrity that sustains public confidence, while also highlighting the innovation, leadership and stewardship that mark a capable, well governed and forward looking industry.

According to the organizer, the Call for Speakers seeks proposals that “stimulate curiosity, challenge assumptions and advance discussion, whether they speak to regulatory practice and reform or to industry innovation, leadership and stewardship.”

Contributions are, they added, welcome across the program’s core themes: policy, regulation and enforcement; compliance, AML and financial crime; products, technology and innovation; safer gambling, harm prevention and consumer protection; integrity, intelligence and security; and leadership, governance and public trust.

The 2027 program will include keynotes, featured speakers and panels, masterclasses, the popular Pitch! as well as industry spotlight sessions.

Regulating the Game is also inviting expressions of interest for Conference Chair roles. Each Chair stewards a day of the conference, shaping dialogue, setting the tone and guiding discussion across the program’s central themes. The role suits persuasive communicators with standing across the sector who can frame critical conversations and draw out diverse expertise and perspective.

Paul Newson, founder of Regulating the Game, said, “Each edition has widened the discussion, from compliance toward stewardship, leadership and the long term health of the sector. For 2027, Pitch! takes its place in the main plenary, where established organizations and emerging providers are weighed against the same tests of capability, accessibility and improved outcomes, with weight given to solutions that solve multiple problems rather than adding another bolt on system. The Call for Speakers invites the people shaping sector and regulatory conversations to take part.”

Applications to speak are open until 11 December 2026 with early submissions encouraged due to anticipated strong demand.
