The first meeting of the Island's eClub in 2015 will have a Russian theme.
The networking event for the Manx eGaming sector, sponsored this month by payments consultancy Counting House, will be held on Wednesday (January 7), when Christmas is celebrated in Russia.
Flavoured vodka will be on offer along with caviar and blinis.
The eClub was started by accountancy practice KPMG and data firm Continent 8 Technologies, as a forum for the growing numbers working in the sector to discuss issues and socialise in an informal setting.
Counting House CEO Paul Davis says the firm is pleased to sponsor the year's first meeting, to help the sector maintain momentum and generate new ideas for growth.
