Technology, risk and gambling seminar series
A series of international gambling webinars every Thursday at 8.30am AEST
Hosted by the Technology Addiction team at the Brain and Mind Centre and co-chaired by A/Prof Sally Gainsbury and Dr Kahlil S. Philander
This weekly one-hour seminar will include discussions from thought leaders worldwide, speaking on a wide range of topics relevant to stakeholders interested in understanding how design and emerging technologies impact gambling, including risky decision making and behaviours.
The international expert speakers will bring a range of backgrounds and experiences from across fields including academia, industry, policy, and community sectors. One of the aims of this seminar series is to allow those who have missed opportunities to give planned conference presentations a way to share new findings. As such, early and mid-career experts will form an integral part of our speaker line-up. Similarly, the seminar series will be interactive, and all attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in the discussion with the panellists.
These live streaming seminars will include short, moderated presentations, and discussions with a range of experts. Webinar attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, and the sessions will be recorded and made available for those not able to attend live.
We are very interested to hear feedback to ensure that this seminar series meets the needs of our intended audience. Please send your comments and suggestions, including for speakers and topics to the Co-Chairs through the link on the right.

- US Pacific Time: Wednesdays @3.30pm
- US Eastern Time: Wednesdays @6.30pm
- London Summer Time: Wednesdays @11.30pm
