About COS

Welcome to The Casino Operations Summit

Where the Land-Based Casino Industry Comes to Learn, Connect, and Evolve

Formerly known as the Slot Summit, the Casino Operations Summit has grown into the premier conference for land-based casino professionals in Europe and Africa. By expanding our focus beyond Electronic Gaming to all aspects of casino operations, we bring together the full spectrum of management — from gaming and hospitality to marketing and technology.

Each spring, 300–400 casino operators and industry-leading sponsors gather for three days of expert insights, strategic discussions, and unparalleled networking. Unlike large trade shows, the Summit creates a relaxed, focused environment that fosters real conversations and lasting connections.

With recent editions in Riga, Bucharest, Amsterdam, and Nova Gorica, the Casino Operations Summit continues to set the standard for industry relevance and educational value. Our next stop: Thessaloniki, Greece — April 2026.

Discover what’s next for the land-based gaming industry — from innovation and trends to staying relevant in a fast-changing world.
