The Singapore Problem Gambling Conference is back! Join us on 17-18 August this year at the Orchard Hotel, Singapore.
This conference will see local and overseas key experts converge to share their insights on the latest in research, prevention and treatment of problem gambling, with a special focus on "Understanding & Addressing Youth Gambling". The 2008 gambling participation survey conducted in Singaporeans aged 18 years and above showed that 3 out of 4 gamblers picked up their gambling
habits
at the age of 24 years or even at a younger age.
If you are a practitioner working with problem gamblers and their families, a researcher, a youth worker or someone interested in this issue, this conference is for you.
This conference will provide you with a better insight into youth gambling. The 2-day conference will feature esteemed international and national experts, who will share their experience and knowledge on four main areas; measures to address problem gambling, public education and preventive work, treatment and research.
There will be a series of interactive educational workshops, where participants will brainstorm and share experiences through facilitated discussions. Some of the topics for discussion include initiatives to address problem gambling, parental attitudes on youth gambling, management of problem gambling in other countries and many more.
The conference will provide an ideal opportunity to interact with the educators, specialists, researchers and key opinion leaders on problem gambling. We invite you to be a part of this unique educational experience and look forward to welcoming you.
