Northern Europe Gaming Conference to be held at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre in 2027
The Finnish iGaming Conference was held for the fourth time at Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa on 10 –11 September 2026. The international gambling industry event has grown in popularity every year as as Finland’s gambling system is moving towards a partial licensing system from 1 July 2027. The conference is also taking a significant step forward, and the event will be known as the Northern Europe Gaming Conference. It will be held at Messukeskus Solar on 16–17 September 2027.
Next year, the iGaming conference will take a significant step forward. Going forward, the event will be known as the Northern Europe Gaming Conference, becoming the largest conference in Northern Europe combined with an extensive gambling industry exhibition. This major development is made possible by the conference’s new home, Messukeskus Solar, the future event venue of Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre, which will open in autumn 2027 and, once completed, will be one of the most modern event venues in the Nordic countries.
“It is fantastic that we can develop the event into the largest gambling industry conference in Northern Europe and combine it with an extensive exhibition. The Northern Europe Gaming Conference, held in these impressive new facilities, will position Finland at the forefront among gambling industry experts in Northern Europe,” says Pertti Koskenniemi, Chair of the Board of Finnish iGaming Events Oy.
“We are delighted with this collaboration. It is wonderful to welcome such a timely and significant event to Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre. Our immersive, future-focused event venue, Messukeskus Solar, will provide an excellent setting for this international conference and exhibition,” says Anne Bask, Business Manager at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre.
The Northern Europe Gaming Conference will be held on 16–17 September 2027.
