Industry leaders from Cambodia, Taiwan, Laos and Macau have also been invited.

Professor Zeng Zhonglu of the Gaming Teaching and Research Centre at Macao Polytechnic Institute will deliver a presentation on “the effects of distance and time on localisation of gaming destinations”.
“Attendees have a real thirst for knowledge and [for] being able to, for example, learn how to tap into the lucrative Chinese market … as well as understanding how legislation governs gaming in Asia Pacific,” says Ira Iskandar, conference manager at Koelnmesse Ltd, the event partner of Macao Gaming Show.
