The forum brings together senior figures from Africa\u2019s gaming and lottery industries for discussions on leadership, regulation, technology and the development of the sector. This year\u2019s event, taking place at the Zimbali Coastal Resort & Conference Centre in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa<\/strong>, includes a focus on women\u2019s role in the industry, with GTSA represented by Christine Akoyo <\/strong>in a discussion on \u201cWomen Leading Africa\u2019s Gaming Future.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Akoyo\u2019s participation gives GTSA a direct presence in the forum\u2019s leadership discussions, rather than limiting the partnership to event support. GTSA said her involvement reflects its interest in promoting a gaming industry that is forward-looking, inclusive and responsible as African markets enter their next stage of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GTSA serves as an industry platform connecting stakeholders around emerging technologies and key developments affecting the African gaming market. The platform is organised by Velex Advisory<\/strong>, which has been using GTSA to connect gaming industry voices and examine developments affecting African markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The partnership with ALGA extends that work to the CEOs Forum, giving GTSA an opportunity to engage with senior executives, regulators and other stakeholders attending the Durban event. It also moves GTSA\u2019s activities beyond its Nairobi base into another major industry gathering on the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The collaboration comes as technology becomes increasingly important to both commercial activity and regulatory oversight in gaming. Operators are adopting new digital tools and products, while regulators are having to consider how technological developments fit within existing frameworks and responsible gaming requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ALGA said the partnership reflects the importance of bringing different parts of the gaming ecosystem into the same conversations. The association said Africa\u2019s gaming industry needs cooperation between jurisdictions, sectors and disciplines to address its opportunities and challenges.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/07\/photo-1649299313612-48cc3493f62e-300x200.jpg\")
