On March 9, 2026, we brought together some of the sharpest minds in
U.S. gaming, law, investment, and emerging entertainment for a full
day of honest conversation at Convene 225 Liberty Street in downtown Manhattan in New York.

NEXT Focus: Emerging Verticals was built around one idea: that
prediction markets, sweepstakes, skill gaming, social casino, and
the broader wave of new entertainment models deserve serious,
balanced discussion — not hype, not headlines, just clarity.

This is what that day looked like.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared a seat, asked a hard
question, or simply showed up with an open mind. And a huge thank
you to our Headline Partner, Bugsy Empire, and all our partners —
EDGE Markets, NuxGame, Alea, Conduet, Fyntek, EvenBet Gaming, and
Hard Rock Games — for making this possible.

We'll see you at the NEXT one.
