Double Celebration as ECA Names Nova Gorica as Stage for its Casino Industry Forum 2024

The European Casino Association has named the place, date and topic for its forthcoming ECA Industry Forum 2024. This year’s host is Slovenia’s Hit Universe of Fun, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2024, with the venue set to be the stunning Perla, Resort & Entertainment in Nova Gorica.

The event will take place November 11-12, featuring an arresting panel of speakers discussing the topic: Future-Forward: AI and Innovation in Casinos with industry delegates from across the spectrum of European casino gaming. The ECA Industry Forum is a unique conference focused upon land-based and online casino gaming topics, debated by both industry experts and influential speakers from outside the sphere of gaming, giving their thoughts, opinions and advice on the pressing issues facing the European casino business.

”The ECA Industry Forum is a strategic event that brings together representatives from land-based casinos to discuss industry trends and developments. This year’s agenda, AI and Innovation, is especially exciting, and guarantees a future-forward approach. We are thrilled to take the Industry Forum to Slovenia and show our support to Hit Group’s 40th anniversary celebration,” Tiina Siltanen, Senior Vice-Chair of the European Casino Association, said.

“For the Hit Group, hosting the ECA Industry Forum constitutes a significant endorsement of our business mission. We are excited to celebrate our 40th anniversary with leading European casino industry experts. At the Hit Universe of Fun gaming and entertainment centres, we are eager to showcase our hospitality, engaging and fun experiences, and the opportunity to explore the charm of Nova Gorica, the European Cross-Border Capital of Culture,” Sandi Brataševec, President of the Hit Company Management Board, said.

The ECA Casino Industry Forum is an exclusive, invitation-only event reserved for representatives of ECA member casinos, partners, supporters, and friends of the association. This closed-door gathering offers a condensed, high-level experience akin to the World Economic Forum in Davos, albeit focused on the casino industry. Like its Swiss counterpart, the ECA Forum strives to deliver unparalleled networking opportunities, thought-provoking discussions, and insights from top-tier experts. The event’s exclusivity ensures an intimate setting where industry leaders can engage in frank, in-depth conversations about the future of European casino gaming.
