A Look Back at an Incredible 2026

What a year it has been for IMGL! From Washington, D.C., to Paris, our 2026 conferences brought together leading gaming lawyers, regulators, industry executives, and thought leaders from across the globe for the conversations, connections, and experiences that make IMGL so special.

Washington, D.C. | Spring 2026

Our Spring Conference brought the IMGL community together at The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, for thought-provoking programming, valuable networking, and opportunities to exchange ideas across jurisdictions and disciplines. The experience continued with an elegant gala at the historic Hay-Adams and a memorable closing reception at the Library of Congress — a fitting backdrop for an organization dedicated to advancing excellence in gaming law worldwide.

Paris, France | Autumn 2026

We took the IMGL experience to the City of Light for an unforgettable gathering at the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel. With the iconic Eiffel Tower as our backdrop, members came together for engaging discussions, international perspectives, and the kind of professional connections that continue long after the conference ends.

The experience extended well beyond the meeting room, with a spectacular gala dinner at Madame Brasserie inside the Eiffel Tower and a closing reception aboard the Liberty, cruising the Seine. It was a celebration of our global community, our shared expertise, and the remarkable places that bring us together.

From the heart of the American capital to the romance of Paris, 2026 demonstrated what makes IMGL unique: exceptional people, international perspectives, substantive conversations, and experiences worth travelling for.

And now? We’re ready to turn the page and begin our next adventure.

A New Twist on the IMGL Calendar

We’re shaking things up!

Traditionally, IMGL has held its Spring Conference in the Northern Hemisphere, followed by an Autumn Conference in another part of the world. For 2027, we’re flipping the script and trying something new.

Rather than following our usual seasonal pattern, we’re bringing our Spring Conference to the Adriatic coast. It’s an exciting opportunity to explore a different destination, experience our global community in a fresh setting, and make the most of everything this remarkable part of Europe has to offer.

Because at IMGL, the destination is part of the experience — and sometimes the best traditions begin with trying something different.

Dubrovnik: Your Next Favourite Conference Destination

There are destinations that impress you, and then there are destinations that stay with you. Dubrovnik is firmly in the second category.

Known for its magnificent medieval walls, terracotta rooftops, sparkling blue sea, and cinematic Old Town, Dubrovnik offers a spectacular setting for a conference that brings together some of the brightest minds in gaming law.

Our home for the week will be the President Hotel, Valamar Collection, a five-star seaside retreat on the lush Babin Kuk peninsula. With beautiful Adriatic views, elegant accommodation, inviting terraces, beach access, swimming pools, and wellness facilities, it’s the perfect place to combine substantive professional engagement with a little Mediterranean indulgence.

And when you’re ready to explore? Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-listed historic centre is just a short journey away, offering centuries of history, charming cafés, winding limestone streets, local cuisine, and extraordinary coastal views.

Whether you’re wandering the Old Town, enjoying a leisurely coffee overlooking the water, discovering Croatian cuisine, or watching the sun sink into the Adriatic after a full day of programming, Dubrovnik invites you to slow down, connect, and savour the experience.

Why You Should Join Us

Meaningful connections. Reconnect with familiar faces, welcome new members, and build relationships with gaming law professionals from across jurisdictions and continents. IMGL conferences create space for the conversations that turn introductions into lasting professional relationships.

Global perspectives. Gaming law is constantly evolving. Our international membership brings together the legal, regulatory, and industry experience needed to understand emerging challenges, compare approaches, and share practical insights across markets.

Substantive programming. Expect the thoughtful discussions, diverse viewpoints, and high-calibre professional exchange that define IMGL. Our programming committees are working to develop a compelling agenda that reflects the issues and opportunities shaping the global gaming industry.

Unforgettable experiences. IMGL is about more than what happens in the conference room. From memorable dinners and lively receptions to the simple pleasure of spending time with colleagues in an extraordinary destination, these shared experiences are part of what makes our community so valuable.

A little Mediterranean magic. May is a wonderful time to discover Dubrovnik, with its coastal scenery, historic charm, and inviting outdoor spaces. Make the most of your visit by arriving early or extending your stay to explore more of Croatia and the surrounding Adriatic region.
