WoTA Forum (Paris 2026)

The WoTA Forum (Paris 2026) will take place in Paris on Friday, 2 October 2026, under the theme “Racing for Relevance: Artificial Intelligence, Trust and the Future of Global Pools.”

As global wagering enters a new era shaped by artificial intelligence, evolving regulation and changing consumer attention, the forum will explore how horseracing and horserace betting can continue to lead, adapt and reinvent themselves.

The event will bring together thinkers, builders and decision-makers to examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping gaming experiences, economies and punters’ engagement. Discussions will consider how AI is influencing player experience, internal processes, compliance, profitability, fraud detection and customer protection across the gambling ecosystem.

The programme will include a keynote and debate on CEOs’ views of artificial intelligence, followed by sessions on whether AI can optimise the density, timing and health of global pools, and how it can help attract and retain players’ attention.

Topics will include responsible AI adoption, integrity, compliance and customer trust, the transformation of legacy tote systems, AI-powered personalisation and customer acquisition, future commercial models for international pools, sports pools, in-race viewing and in-play betting.

• Laura Da Silva (Founder & CEO, digitalRG)
• Martin Tripp (Global Chief Operating Officer, BetMakers Technology Group)
• Long Lee (Head of Wagering Product Strategy, The Hong Kong Jockey Club)
