Quirino Mancini (Tonucci & Partners) takes on several roles during European Gaming Congress 2019 Milan
Leading Italian gaming and gambling lawyer with a specialist practice of almost 20 years to take part in 3 panel discussions at European Gaming Congress 2019 Milan.
Starting from its launch, European Gaming Media and Events has a clear mission, and that is giving a spotlight for experts of each jurisdiction in which we organize a conference. We have been doing this successfully for the past 4 years in Budapest, Prague, Riga, Vilnius, Vienna, and Ljubljana.
The time has come to venture into a new destination and of course, give the spotlight to leading experts of the gaming and gambling industry within that region. As you may know from earlier press releases, European Gaming Congress (EGC) heads to Milan this year and as usual, the main discussion focus is on the local market while also keeping a close eye on neighboring jurisdictions.
When it comes to the Italian gambling industry, there is certainly one well-known expert to whom you can turn to with any questions, and that is Quirino Mancini, Partner at Tonucci & Partners.
The conference takes place on the 8th of November at Radisson Blu Hotel Milan and brings together key stakeholders of the online and land-based gambling industry who are active in the European Union.
