The Finnish iGaming Conference was held for the fourth time at Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa on 10–11 September 2026, an event that has grown in popularity every year as as Finland’s gambling system moves towards a partial licensing system from 1 July 2027. The conference will also take a significant step forward, with a name change to the Northern Europe Gaming Conference. It will be held at Solar, the future event venue of Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre, on 16–17 September 2027.

It will become, organisers say, the largest gaming conference in Northern Europe combined with an extensive industry 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,” said 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, Solar, will provide an excellent setting for this international conference and exhibition,” aid Anne Bask, business manager at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre.
