World experts on sport's relationship with gambling will converge in London on 29 September for Sport & Gambling 2011, a conference organised by World Sports Law Report and World Online Gambling Law Report.

Sport & Gambling 2011 will be held amid a period of key regulatory developments in the sports & gambling industries. These include The European Commission's consultation on the future regulation of online gambling in Europe; the consultation on whether the UK's Gambling Commission should share suspicious betting information with the International Olympic Committee and other international sporting federations, and the announcement by the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport that all gambling operators selling into the British market will require a license from the UK's Gambling Commission. All of these developments will affect sport's future relationship with gambling and will be discussed by experts at Sport & Gambling 2011.
 
As such, Sport & Gambling 2011 is a crucial event for all those involved in sport and gambling. The conference will examine the extent of the financial relationship between sport and gambling; methods of identifying suspicious betting patterns; international efforts to combat match fixing; support for a 'right to offer bets' that sport can sell to operators; the Database Directive and its impact on sport's relationship with gambling; gambling and the London 2012 Olympics; player education and more.
