NEXT Retreat Europe: Cyprus 2025

The balance is exact, with 50 operators and 50 suppliers invited, creating an exclusive, curated setting that is all about building meaningful business relationships.

Hosted at the Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort in Agios Georgios Pegeia, the retreat combines Mediterranean luxury with a professional focus. With its sea views, elegant meeting spaces, and relaxed atmosphere, it is the perfect backdrop for high-level conversations without the distractions of larger conferences.

Key Highlights and Themes

Unlike traditional summits, this retreat keeps things intentionally simple. There are no crowded exhibition halls or endless back-to-back presentations. Instead, the program emphasizes focused, distraction-free networking supported by a setting designed to encourage real dialogue.

Discussions will touch on some of the most important challenges and opportunities in iGaming today. These include market entry strategies, regulatory hurdles, product innovation, and how operators and suppliers can work together to shape new business models. The format ensures every participant gets a chance to connect directly with decision-makers who can make a real difference to their growth plans.

Networking Opportunities

The retreat is built around premium networking experiences. Each day allows time for informal and formal meetings, as well as shared meals and social activities that encourage authentic conversations. From the welcome drinks on the first evening, to a full day of meetings and meals on the second day, to the closing activities on the third, every moment is designed to make it easier to connect with the right people.

With transport provided on arrival and meals arranged throughout the event, participants can focus entirely on making high-value connections. Each day is built around meaningful interactions, from the welcome drinks on the first evening to relaxed discussions during shared meals and scheduled networking breaks.
