The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) will host the Gaming Standards Technical Summit (GSATS) in Seattle on November 17-18, 2026. The event takes place in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is free to attend.
Kevin Mullally, CEO of the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR), will deliver the opening keynote. Mullally previously served as CEO of the General Commercial Gaming Authority in the United Arab Emirates, VP of Government Relations and General Counsel at GLI, and Executive Director of the Missouri Gaming Commission.
Summit Theme Targets Technology and Regulatory Alignment
Mark Pace, IGSA President, said: “Our theme for this year’s GSATS, Innovate & Elevate, represents the ever-increasing pace of advancements in our industry, as well as the growing need to level up our game. We look forward to discussing the wealth of new and upcoming technologies and how we can ensure that they are used safely and effectively in our highly regulated industry.”
The two-day program centers on the safe adoption of emerging technologies inside regulated gaming markets. According to G3 Newswire, the summit addresses both innovation speed and compliance requirements.
Event Draws Support from Testing, Legal and Gaming Firms
IGSA has secured sponsorship from GLI, Eclipse Compliance Testing, Howard & Howard PLC and Konami Gaming. These backers span compliance testing, legal advisory and technology supply segments.
The free format lowers barriers for attendance by operators, regulators and vendors. With the stated focus on practical technology deployment, the summit supplies a contained setting for direct exchange on standards that govern real-world implementation.

Free, vendor-neutral summit where compliance meets innovation — critical for anyone deploying new tech in regulated markets.
Standards debates often happen in closed committees. IGSA is opening the door for operators, regulators and suppliers to hash out emerging-tech guardrails in real time. We work with clients across this exact triad — helping them navigate compliance while staying competitive. This summit surfaces the roadmap.
