The Africa Leadership Forum

The Gaming Boardroom’s flagship annual gathering for C-suite leaders across Africa’s gambling sector.

The Gaming Boardroom’s Flagship Africa Leadership Forum is the annual, in-person gathering for C-suite leaders across the continent’s gambling industry.

Held each October, the Forum is the culmination of our Digital Leadership Labs, where regional voices surface the issues that matter most. The Forum then brings those priorities together in one senior-level environment designed for collaboration, strategy, and problem-solving.

What to expect

1.5 days of high-level dialogue — no sales pitches, no exhibition halls.
100–150 senior leaders including operators, regulators, suppliers, and policy experts.
Closed-door roundtables and plenary sessions focused on Africa’s leadership priorities.
Elite networking opportunities, including a private dinner for invited leaders.

Core themes include

Regulatory complexity and harmonisation
Responsible gambling and player protection
Tackling illegal and unregulated operators
Technology, UX, and payment innovation

Talent, leadership, and capability gaps
Taxation, inflation, and economic pressures
Social perception and industry legitimacy
Strategic collaboration across jurisdictions

This is not a trade show or conference. It is a senior, working-style forum designed for leaders who want to shape solutions, build partnerships, and chart the future of Africa’s gambling sector.
