Roundtable 1: M&A developments: a discussion on the industry movements and trends in 2025

Despite the challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop, sector M&A activity continues to be significant and is on the rise globally. In this session, we delve into the driving factors behind the current M&A landscape, including continued consolidation in Europe and the US, opportunities in LATAM, the increased influence of private equity and challenges around capital markets. We’ll spend some time touching on shared experiences and how companies can best prepare themselves for a transaction process, including acquisitions and divestments/disposals. Looking ahead, we’ll scan the horizon to discuss the remaining M&A outlook for 2025 and which trends might shake up the status quo.

Roundtable 3: Beyond the buzzword: defining sustainability for egaming

While discussions around ESG principles in any industry can risk remaining surface-level and hinging on wider public perceptions, incorporating a company-wide prioritisation of environmental and social responsibilities can be paramount for future growth and investment. In this session, we examine the cornerstones of sustainable development for the industry, the importance of collaboration and how companies are expanding growth strategies in line with ESG priorities.
