WLA WORLD LOTTERY SUMMIT

02 Nov 2014 - 05 Nov 2014

The WLA World Lottery Summit is the biennial conference organised on each continent by a relatively young association, founded in 1999, made up of the lottery operators, WLA partners, and their suppliers worldwide. It is a unique event bringing together several hundred delegates representing operators promoting exchange of knowledge and experience between those purveying goods and services in the fields of lotteries and sports betting.

In 2014, the Summit’s theme was "sustainability" together with the role of the Internet and social media, mobile and draw-based games in the lottery world.
