EL/WLA Security and Operational Risks Seminar 2025
Trust in the Supply Chain: Resilience and Oversight
This seminar is an invaluable opportunity to learn about the latest advancements and best practices in security environment. You will be able to gain insights from leading experts, network with peers, and stay ahead in this rapidly evolving landscape.
In the regulated lottery and sports betting sector, where public trust is tied directly to operational integrity, the security and liability of supply chains are non-negotiable. This seminar will explore how lotteries and sports betting operators can strengthen the integrity of their operations by building resilient supply chains and by implementing robust oversight mechanisms.
From ticket production to digital draw systems – maintaining transparency, security, and responsiveness is key to sustaining public trust and ensuring regulatory compliance in the evolving gaming landscape. We’ll examine the tools, frameworks, and governance structures that lotteries and sports betting operators need to ensure transparency, continuity, and security throughout the supply chain.
Key topics will include:
• Building resilient supply chain integrity in gaming operations
• Enhancing visibility and accountability through oversight mechanisms
• Evaluating and mitigating supplier and third-party risks
• Leveraging technology for secure, traceable supply networks
• Aligning trust-building efforts with cybersecurity and compliance standards.

Fram Museum
This year's event is hosted by Norsk Tipping Lottery, offering you dinner and entertainment in the exclusive setting of the FRAM Museum, dedicated to the original polar ships Fram and Gjøa.
The FRAM Museum is home to the world’s strongest wooden ship. Built to brave the polar ice, Fram carried Roald Amundsen to Antarctica in 1910 — making him the first explorer to stand at the South Pole. Just a short stroll away rests Gjøa, the vessel that navigated the Northwest Passage under Amundsen’s command.
