Kevin Tan, the President and CEO of Alliance Global Group and Chairman of its subsidiary, Newport World Resorts operator Travellers International Hotel Group, will deliver the Keynote Address to kick off Day 2 of the 2024 IAG Academy Summit today.

Mr Tan’s address will take place shortly after 10am, to be followed by a hugely impressive array of speakers throughout the morning and afternoon.

Following Mr Tan’s Keynote Address, Day 2 of the 2024 IAG Academy Summit will welcome guests with a regulator’s session in which David Green, PAGCOR’s Daniel Cecilio and Khim Oudam from the Commercial Gambling Management Commission of Cambodia will discuss the latest trends in gaming regulation across the Asia-Pacific region.

Next up it will be the operators providing their insights, namely NUSTAR’s SVP Gaming & Integrated Resort Operations Trevor Hammond, Newport World Resorts Chief Marketing Officer David Jorden and Casino Plus CEO Evan Spytma.

Preceding Wednesday’s networking lunch will be one of the highlight sessions of the 2024 IAG Academy summit when Crown Resorts CEO Ciarán Carruthers sits down with IAG’s Vice Chairman and CEO Andrew W Scott for “A Conversation with Ciarán Carruthers.” This 30-minute session will see Carruthers discuss Crown’s years-long journey from facing unprecedented regulatory and media scrutiny under its previous owner to recently winning back its casino licenses for its integrated resorts in Melbourne and Sydney. Carruthers was last night named the first ever Industry Legend in IAG’s Hall of Fame at the IAG Academy IR Awards.

The Wednesday after-lunch sessions will please fans of technology, starting with a highly anticipated panel session on smart gaming tables. Titled “Hot Gaming Tech: Get Smart Tables”, the panel will feature former MGM China VP Table Operations Graeme Croft, Walker Digital Table Systems CEO Stephen Moore, Differential Labs’ Clayton Peister, and Angel Australasia’s Chief Technology Officer Aaron Raj. The panel is brought to you by Session Sponsor Paltronics.

Peister will then back-up for a unique workshop titled “Using AI to distil meaningful strategies from raw data” where he will provide participants with a raw set of player level ratings which will be organized into a format which can be analyzed and benchmarked, distilling player patterns in a process called feature engineering. A simple AI model will then be developed to predict promotional sensitivity. Participants will explore the data to identify marketable trends, opportunities, and set broad objectives, as well as jointly developing strategies and tactics to drive profitability.

The final session of the 2024 IAG Academy Summit will see representatives of major industry suppliers offer their insights into Asian markets, namely Light & Wonder’s VP and Managing Director, Asia, Ken Jolly, Konami’s Operations Manager Sales, Marketing and Service ANZ/APAC, David Punter, General Manager, Asia for Aristocrat Lloyd Robson and SVP of International Operations for Aruze global, Betty Zhao.

The IAG Academy Summit is taking place at Hilton Manila, Newport World Resorts.

From 2025, the event will be rebranded as IAG Expo and, as the name suggests, feature a large-scale land-based gaming industry exhibition, to be held in the Marriott Grand Ballroom at Newport World Resorts, the largest ballroom in the Philippines. IAG Expo will incorporate a comprehensive array of activities, including Manila After Dark, the IAG Academy Summit and the IAG Academy IR Awards.

IAG Expo will be held from Monday 8 to Wednesday 10 September 2025.
