On Thursday, June 18, 2026, Gaming in the Nordics will bring together in Copenhagen key decision makers in the regulated (or soon-to-be-regulated) Danish, Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian iGaming markets.

Gaming in the Nordics is the latest initiative from Gaming in Europe, which is well known for its annual Gaming in Holland, Gaming in Germany, and Gaming in Spain conferences.

The event will take place at the Better Collective HQ in Copenhagen, and will feature Mr. Anders Dorph, Director of the Danish Gambling Authority as its headline speaker.

Other confirmed speakers include:

• Pontus Lindwall, CEO, Betsson
• Jesper Søgaard, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Better Collective
• Morten Ronde, CEO, Danish Online Gambling Association (DOGA)
• Fredrik Stenstrøm, Secretary General, Norway Association for Online Gaming (NBO)
• Pekka Ilmivalta, Head of Office, Nordic Legal – Finland
• Birgitte Sand, CEO, Birgitte Sand & Associates
• Josh Hodgson, COO, H2 Gambling Capital
• Peter-Paul de Goeij, Managing Consultant, QuodBonum.se (day chair)

Gaming in the Nordics founder, Willem van Oort commented: “We are extremely pleased that Mr. Anders Dorph has agreed to speak at the Gaming in the Nordics launch event. In my experience, it is always good to able to facilitate a dialogue between regulatory authorities and the industry – which in this case will be very capably represented by Betsson’s Mr. Pontus Lindwall, as well as several leading trade bodies. Although the Nordic markets are in varying states of regulation and market maturity, there nonetheless exist certain commonalities, which together provide a solid basis for the fruitful exchange of lessons learned and best practices.”
