Five federal deputies are scheduled to contribute to the debates at the Brazil Gaming Congress on June 26-27, organised by Clarion Events in Sao Paulo.

They will give their insight into the progress of deregulation in the country and will be among 50 speakers at the event. Said Ewa Bakun, head of content at Clarion: “BgC is a specialist Brazil-dedicated event at which we will learn not just about the latest political and regulatory information, but also on what best practice can be applied to Brazil, the routes to market and the timelines for investment. 

“Certainly, the diversity and calibre of speakers drawn from both the regulatory and commercial spheres will prove invaluable as the industry gets to grips with the dynamics of a market which has the fifth biggest population in the world. 

“The key take-out delegates can look forward to is clarity on the revised regulatory timetable following the country’s recent political turmoil, in particular when it comes to the ministerial bills on sports betting (from the Ministry of Finance) and on casinos (from the Ministry of Tourism). 

“There has never been a greater need for information on the political and legislative process or best practices for regulation, taxation and control. BgC 2017 will provide stakeholders with the necessary insight and opportunity to meet the right people and maximise the commercial opportunity in a market with a population of 211 million.”
