TRADING ROOM OF THE FUTURE
LEADING THE PACK – THE NJ REVOLUTION
How much of New Jersey’s sports betting revolution can be attributed to its openness for mobile betting? Is it going too big too quickly or is it symptomatic of the latent demand for legal sports betting?
The trading function within bookmakers has changed beyond recognition since the turn of the century. Has the opening up of the US market allowed a reappraisal of the market? What are trading directors looking for in terms of a workforce? What skills are needed in a modern trading room? Does there need to be a concerted effort to make them a more diverse sector of the industry? How have advancements in technology impacted the trading sector?

FIXING THE FIX – HOW PROBLEM GAMBLING AFFECTS SPORTS INTEGRITY
While sports betting integrity and problem gambling are both regarded as big issues for the gambling industry to tackle, they are usually discussed in isolation with different processes of education, treatment and regulation. As more innovative harm minimization programs are rolled out across the world, it is becoming clear that there is in fact a link between the two. So how can they be addressed together as combined threats to sport in the future? SPEAKER
