About Ampersand

[Virtual Assembly was] as close a replacement to the real world random discussions we are used to enjoying in our industry at conferences, in bars and the like. New contacts and nuggets of information very useful.’

It’s been a busy but wonderful two weeks of insightful, engaging gaming conversations across igaming, sportsbetting and traditional land-based casino gaming. Thanks to the efforts of Ewa Bakun and the Ampersand Initiative. Much appreciation for the intelligent and lively banter from new friends and old.

The Assembly (at least, those discussions I participated in) was a truly insightful experience. It was an amazing opportunity to share the ideas with industry professionals in a friendly informal conversation, which was extremely valuable and felt like a breath of fresh air in the lack of face-to-face professional communication.

Interesting to see how events companies are adapting to the new world. Delighted to be part of Clarion Gaming's Virtual Ampersand this week. Thank you for inviting me in. Really good initiative.

Thank you very much Ewa and Clarion Gaming for allowing us to go through the pandemic and this "new improved normality" connected and informed, giving rise to relevant conversations that we will surely continue in the future.

I had the opportunity to attend a few of the Ampersand Assembly discussions in the past month or so. The format has been adjusted to fit our WFH reality and I must say I quite like how they've turned out! Ranging in topics, with networking opportunities to connect with interesting and knowledgeable people, the & Assemblies are definitely worth the time!

Really engaging and novel approach to networking in a focused environment. You enter the conversation knowing that the topic is of interest and the other people taking part are experts.

Great way to exchange on current topics without investing too much time. Focused, diversified and inspiring. Also a good platform to meet new people and to connect.

Ampersand Assembly is a unique opportunity to interact with top-notch professionals in the gaming industry from around the globe, the valuable source of field-proof information, and a great place to meet!’

After spending four decades in the lottery/gaming industry, there are few formats that allow for open conversations regarding issues that impact the industry overall that are not part of trade association politics. From the first Ampersand held; the concept is refreshing and informative. The virtual versions are also very useful as there can be participants who otherwise may not been been able to attend a physical event. In 2020, the lottery/gaming industry is forever changed and there will be an opportunity to create a new normal that addresses the detriments of the past...Ampersand is the format for those discussions.
