Aristocrat Gaming will host an upcoming event at Sofitel Manila that shines a spotlight on women leaders in the Philippine casino sector. This event, the first of its kind organized by the gaming technology supplier, will take place on Friday and coincide with International Women’s Day (IWD). The event aims not only to celebrate the accomplishments of women in gaming but also to facilitate important discussions about the advantages of investing in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives—both within individual organizations and across the broader industry.
Furthermore, Aristocrat Gaming, the land-based business segment of Aristocrat Leisure Ltd., expressed strong anticipation for the event and emphasized its significance in promoting gender diversity throughout the gaming sector. A key feature of the IWD event includes a panel discussion featuring notable figures such as Cheryl Tiglao, Director of Slot at Hann Casino Resort; Katrina Mae De Jesus, Head of Business Development and Resort Marketing at Universal Hotels and Resorts Inc.; and Vina Claudette Oca, Assistant Vice President of Gaming Licensing and Development at the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp (PAGCOR).
Lloyd Robson, General Manager for Asia at Aristocrat Gaming, highlighted the company’s commitment, stating, “Our commitment to empowering women goes beyond equality; we believe that bringing in diverse perspectives and talents can enrich the gaming industry and boost innovation, shaping a sustainable and inclusive future for all.”
Moreover, Robson expressed enthusiasm for the event, underscoring its importance in recognizing and supporting the valuable contributions of women in the industry.
Overall, the increasing focus on women’s empowerment in the gaming industry represents a welcome and overdue step toward fostering greater diversity, inclusivity, and innovation within the sector. By highlighting women’s achievements, the event paves the way for a more equitable future while showcasing the vital role women play in shaping the industry’s success.
