Event Highlights

This conference features leading experts in gambling research and responsible gaming:

Rory Pfund, PhD

• Dr. Pfund will present the most up-to-date evidence on the treatment of gambling disorder, and will summarize the existing evidence for both pharmacological and psychological treatment for gambling disorder and identify the specific psychological treatment methods for reducing gambling behavior and gambling disorder symptoms.
