Toronto is set to host the Responsible Gambling Council's (RGC) Discovery Conference from March 25-27, reclaiming its status as the global hub for responsible gambling dialogue.
The three-day event, taking place at the CF Toronto Eaton Centre Downtown Marriott, invites both in-person and virtual participation and emphasizes the critical discourse around responsible gambling.
Renowned behavioural change expert Dr. Lisa Bélanger will deliver this year's keynote, "Reshaping the Game: Strategies for Behaviour Change in Responsible Gambling."
Dr. Bélanger will explore the factors influencing behavioural change and how interpersonal interactions and technology can contribute to these transformations.
Distinguished speakers include RGC CEO Shelley White, Catherine Meade from OLG, Mark Vander Linden from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, Andrea McGeachen from NeoSurf, and Dr. Kasra Ghaharian from UNLV.
Conference topics encompass culturally conscious programming, advertising, fostering a culture of responsibility, the role of payment solutions in player protection, and a detailed examination of Gen Z's betting habits.
The event will feature a luncheon to honor the recipient of the Tibor Barsony Bursary, a $5,000 award recognizing outstanding contributions to problem gambling research by a Canadian student.
