Why do delegates attend some industry events over others? 68% of our delegates surveyed replied that their top influencer was the networking opportunities available. So clearly it’s not always what you learn, but who you meet that influences the success of an event.

The iGaming Super Show has provided a comprehensive networking program that ensures that at every stage of the event there are sufficient networking scenarios to suit the need of each individual. With communications changing daily, it has been left to the delegate to choose which means suit their networking need.

The iGaming Super Show networking strategies include:

Pre event:

• Online – from February 2012, every registered attendee will have access to the online networking tool, connecting over 2500 delegates together. Giving delegates the privacy to respond only to those relevant to their business, but also the freedom to search and arrange meetings prior to the iGaming Super Show; this will ensure a full calendar bursting with interesting and fulfilling business connections.
• Social – Twitter, facebook, Linkedin... Whichever medium is more suitable, there are currently several large and relevant communities of past & future attendees. One for the more informal business executives out there. 

During the event

• Mobile – No frustration could be greater than trying to find one person in thousands. To avoid playing the metaphorical needle in an event haystack, every attendee can download a free networking app Shmooze onto their iPhone or Android smartphone. This ingenious app provides delegates with a list of people at the event, what they are looking for, and a means to get in contact. A great tool to break the ice in the virtual world before meeting face to face at a scheduled rendezvous.
• Speed – The iGaming Super Show speed networking is back. A roaring success when it was first launched in 2010, this intimate meet-up allows buyers and sellers to quickly pitch and decide if a further meeting is necessary. For those short in time, but with plenty of business cards.
• Exhibition space – With four dedicated meeting areas, this will allow the growing delegate list space to sit down and have purposeful conversations with fellow attendees. This increase in space will ensure a meeting area is never far, and a free bar from 3pm onwards will help the budget when treating a potential prospect.

Networking Socials

• The iGaming Series of Poker – The freeroll for this event will be open for every attendee to the Super Show with a chance to win one of 60 coveted seats for the live play competition. A lively and fun poker game, meet other enthusiasts of the pastime and enter to win over $10,000 worth of prizes.
• Evening networking parties – At times, the best deals are made in the most informal of places. Our sponsored parties each night over three days have an even balance of networking, open bars and excitement.
