The SEE Gaming Business Forum has invited AskGamblers to participate in an iGaming event, the first event of this kind – entirely focused on South-East Europe. The Forum will be held on 20 November 2020 online, with AskGamblers’ Vice President Nikola Teofilovic speaking in the second panel. Teofilovic will be discussing strategies and business models to thrive in the era of digital as well as the latest industry trends on the horizon.

The SEE Gaming Business Forum is the first iGaming event of this kind to focus on South-East Europe entirely. It was initially planned to showcase in Belgrade as a hybrid event but has moved fully online to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all participants and speakers during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Forum will feature IV panels, bringing together casino and sportsbook operators, C-level executives, software suppliers and major providers, payment solutions companies and national regulators that impose taxes and collect money. SEE Gaming participants will discuss business strategy, regulatory obstacles, industry requirements, social responsibility and the role of technology in the industry.

The virtual, interactive platform will give everyone the opportunity to engage in discussion and networking sessions as simultaneous interpreting into English and Serbian will be provided.

Nikola Teofilovic, Vice President of AskGamblers at Catena Media and a part of its Executive Management team, is scheduled to speak in the II panel and discuss strategies and business models to thrive in the era of digital. He will also reflect on the latest iGaming trends on the horizon.

As a true visionary and the epitome of a get-goer who has cultivated AskGamblers from a startup into a leading online casino authority, Teofilovic is, for sure, the right person to talk at this conference. Over the past decade, AskGamblers has proven itself to be the most reputable online casino portal, providing the latest iGaming information and guiding players to a safe gambling experience.

Commenting on his participation in the SEE Gaming Business Forum, Nikola Teofilovic said: “I am beyond honoured to participate in SEE Gaming Business Forum and exchange opinions and experiences with such incredible professionals that are scheduled to speak alongside me. The entire team at AskGamblers puts their heart and soul into the project, and I’m happy it shows. I’m counting days till 20 November and must say have a bit of jitters. See you there!”

Nikola currently manages a 70-people team at AskGamblers located in Belgrade, Serbia.
