Join FISD at its first in-person event in New York in 2021. Our program will highlight thought leadership and member insights from prominent members and industry experts, including a special segment on the emerging trends in the online casino industry. After the program, catch up (in person) with your colleagues and make new contacts.
FISD takes COVID-19 very seriously. In keeping with New York City’s “Key to NYC Pass”, the venue will require attendees to provide proof of vaccination onsite and request the wearing of masks when seated in the auditorium listening to speakers. As much as possible, we will be spacing seating so that there is more distance between seats. FISD will comply with local and national government rules – and the rules/policies of the venue. We plan to organize the networking element of this event to create an environment that enables a high degree of individual choice, with both indoor and outdoor space.

Prior to Lagoon, Omri served as a major in the Israeli Air force, flying F-16Is and in charge of a joint forces air command cell.
