About this event
The International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) held its 2026 annual conference in Lima, Peru, from 19 to 22 October at the JW Marriott Hotel. It was hosted by Peru's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) and marked IAGR's return to Peru after 11 years, following its 2015 conference in Lima. The theme was 'Steady hands, shifting ground: Advancing regulation in a connected world', and Spanish and English interpretation was provided.
The programme opened on Monday with a GLI seminar, a host-country keynote on the Peruvian regulatory perspective and an opening plenary on the regulator's mandate in a connected market. Later sessions covered prediction markets and regulatory arbitrage, AML/CFT and organised-crime risk in gambling payments, sports wagering integrity, products that do not fit current standards, and regtech. Keynotes included Mike Dreitzer of the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Sarah Gardner of the UK Gambling Commission, and an emerging technology showcase made its debut.
