The Gathering

Where the poker
industry does business.

Felt Summit brings the full commercial ecosystem of global poker into one room — tours, operators, sponsors, media, technology companies, and capital. For two days, the conversations that usually happen informally, in corridors and over late dinners, happen in a structured environment built for them.

The programme runs across a main stage, an open deal floor, and closed evening sessions for senior delegates. Every part of it is designed around one outcome: making the relationships that move the industry forward easier to build.

The Format

Two days.
Three components.

Felt Summit is structured around three distinct environments — each designed for a different type of interaction. The full programme will be announced when the location is confirmed.

Day 1 + 2 — Main Stage

Conference Sessions

Keynotes, panel discussions, and presentations on the state of the global poker industry. Market growth, regulation, player acquisition, media rights, technology, and the emerging UAE market. Curated speakers from tours, operators, and adjacent industries.

Day 1 + 2 — Exhibition Floor

Deal Floor

A dedicated floor for commercial meetings between operators, sponsors, technology providers, and media. Pre-arranged one-to-one sessions with a structured matchmaking system. Exhibitor stands and shared meeting space available.

Evening — Private

Networking Events

Curated evening sessions for registered delegates. Closed dinners for operators and tour executives. An environment designed for conversations that don't happen in a conference hall — smaller, more focused, and more productive.

Attendance is for professionals who work in or adjacent to the poker industry: tours, operators, media, sponsors, technology providers, and investors. Professional players who have a commercial or industry role (ambassadors, executives, content creators) may be invited as speakers or delegates.
