At 11:30, Dario will join the panel “Regulatory Backfire: How Crackdowns Empower Offshore Rivals” on the Main Stage at Fiera Roma.

Later that day, from 14:15 to 15:15, he will contribute to the IMGL Masterclass, “The Great Ad Ban Experiment: 8 Years of Lessons from Italy”. The workshop will explore the impact of Italy’s gambling advertising restrictions, compare regulatory approaches across European jurisdictions, and identify lessons for future compliance and regulatory frameworks.
