International Cooperation in Gaming: GLI Sponsors IAGR Conference

GLI to support IAGR

Through this sponsorship, GLI will support IAGR’s year-round work in international gaming regulation and will lead the 2026 IAGR Annual Conference in Lima, Peru, from October 19-22, 2026, which will feature a half-day GLI Regulators Workshop. The workshop will offer practical, technical, and operational risk-control education for regulators, with particular emphasis on issues important to Latin American regulators.

In addition to the workshop, GLI will support IAGR’s expanding program of work by making subject matter experts available, as needed, to assist the IAGR Technology Working Group and Model Rules Committee. These initiatives are intended to strengthen international regulatory effectiveness, improve coordination across jurisdictions, and help regulators respond to emerging risks and technologies.

“GLI has supported IAGR and the global regulatory community for decades, and we are proud to deepen that commitment through this Diamond-Elite Sponsorship,” said GLI President and CEO James R. Maida. “IAGR’s work is expanding rapidly in ways that are highly aligned with our own long-standing focus on regulatory education, technical excellence, and practical support for regulators. We are especially pleased to contribute programming in Lima that will provide actionable value for regulators, including content tailored to the priorities of Latin American jurisdictions.”

“We are grateful to GLI for its consistent support of IAGR and for the high-quality programming it has delivered over many years,” said Ben Haden, President of IAGR. “This sponsorship reflects a shared commitment to stronger regulatory cooperation and to equipping regulators with practical tools and knowledge to address emerging challenges.”
