Who Pierre is
Pierre Lindh co-founded iGaming NEXT in 2019 and has built it, as NEXT.io since 2023, from one Malta conference into a media and events group with a news portal, a podcast he hosts, and two flagship summits: NEXT Summit Valletta, expecting more than 6,000 delegates in 2026, and NEXT Summit New York, moving to Convene Hudson Yards for 2027.
In 2026 he extended the model into prediction markets with NEXTPredict, a media brand and New York summit with Morgan Stanley as a partner. Before NEXT he ran Ambassador Events in Malta from around 2013 and joined Betsson in 2011. He has spoken openly about the poker club he founded in Sweden as a teenager, raided by police in 2006, as the origin of his career.
