Why attend?

More than a compliance update

IFRS 18 is set to reshape the way financial performance is presented and communicated. For organisations operating in the iGaming sector, understanding these changes early can create a real advantage.

As reporting requirements evolve, finance leaders will need to consider how performance is communicated, how key metrics are presented, and whether existing reporting processes are fit for the future.

This exclusive workshop brings together industry specialists to explore the practical implications of IFRS 18, key updates to Malta's VAT gaming framework taking effect from 1 October 2026, and the growing role of technology in driving smarter financial decision-making.

Whether you're involved in finance, compliance, operations or leadership, you'll gain valuable insights into regulatory developments, implementation considerations and emerging industry trends, helping your organisation stay ahead of change.

Gain clarity. Ask questions. Connect with industry peers. Turn change into opportunity.
