Keynote Speaker

Andrew Garrood

This year's keynote speaker is Andrew Garrood, a senior executive who has spent more than 30 years working at the intersection of financial markets, betting and technology.

Based in London, Andrew is a talented inventor who has made significant contributions to the world of gaming and live event wagering, holding 26 patents. He has showcased his innovation and expertise while working with companies such as CG Technology Development, LLC, and CFPH, LLC.

At Cantor Fitzgerald, Andrew helped develop technology that allowed customers to gamble using a device rather than sitting at machines in a casino. This idea catalysed the creation of a company focused on mobile gaming technology. Conceived before smartphones and app stores, within two years the company was making more than 25% of all sports bets in the entire state.

His keynote, "The Odds Are You're Wrong", promises to be thought-provoking and engaging.

After-Dinner Entertainment

Mr. Marph – Michael Andrew Patterson Harding

After dinner, we will dance to classic Motown tunes performed by Mr. Marph, Michael Andrew Patterson Harding.

Born in London, Mr. Marph is a versatile singer, songwriter and recording artist performing across Europe, with a repertoire spanning soul, R&B, gospel and reggae.

He has performed in a joint concert with Redding III, son of the legendary Otis Redding, whose iconic song "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" remains timeless.

Mr. Marph was featured as a guest vocalist on the soundtrack of the Amazon Prime No. 1 movie "The Throwback". He has also opened for legendary acts such as The Jacksons and Sister Sledge and performed at numerous celebrity parties, including private events for Manchester United.
