engagement and activism occurring in the industry, a roundtable discussion on critical issues several North American regulators are facing, to the potential impact that gambling advertising restrictions intended to promote socially responsible gambling might have on the industry. Te agenda also addresses relevant and timely issues like how US operators, manufacturers and regulators are handling the rapid expansion of sports betting post PASPA’s repeal last year, how leading edge technologies like AI and others are helping companies combat financial crime, and how the increasing interplay between lotteries and traditional gaming markets are creating potential regulatory concerns.
Tis year’s Summit agenda also includes quite possibly our finest selection of keynote speeches to date, beginning on June 4 with an opening fireside chat with Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States, who will explore the challenges that arise because of the US’s federal and state governmental framework, sharing his thoughts on the country’s current state of gaming laws and regulations beginning with the DOJ’s recent opinion and touching on the Senate’s proposed legislation on sports integrity, the growing legalization of marijuana and more. Tuesday afternoon, our delegates will hear from former Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval who will reflect on his time as Governor and share his perspectives on public service and the changes
he saw in gaming during his tenure within Nevada, the United States and globally.
Wednesday morning Jay Kaplan, a former US National Security Agency (NSA)-trained hacker who now heads up one of Silicon Valley’s top cyber security companies that protects leading global banks, federal agencies, DoD classified assets, and over $1 trillion in Fortune 500 revenue will discuss how gaming’s global growth and its ability to process more cash transactions per minute than the world’s largest banks make the industry an irresistible cyber- attack target. Jay will use his extensive experience to evaluate how a flaw in a gaming network could incite a host of cyber-attacks, leading to debilitating business downtime and devastating financial costs.
Tat afternoon, American Gaming Association (AGA) CEO Bill Miller will address Summit delegates, discussing his first five months at the helm of the AGA and the opportunities on the horizon for the industry, including regulatory modernisation, responsibility in gaming and the expansion of legalised sports betting across the United States. Our final keynote speaker, Juan Espinosa Garcia, the Director General of the Spanish Directorate General for Gambling Regulation, will explore why using advanced technology to identify problem gaming behavior and then using the information to improve at- risk gambler support is the way forward to long-term sustainability in the gaming industry.
Of course, this year’s International Gaming Summit’s comprehensive program is accentuated by exceptional networking events, beginning Monday evening with a casual “Welcome to the California Coast” reception featuring local culinary delights from Half Moon Bay fishermen, farmers, winegrowers and more. Tuesday night, we’ll hold our annual President’s Dinner where we’ll feature cuisines from numerous San Francisco neighborhoods including North Beach, the Mission District and the Ferry Building farmer’s market. Tursday, we’ll toast the conclusion of another successful Summit with a casual “barefoot barbecue” that will offer everything from traditional barbecue fare to an oyster shucking station, a seafood boil and more.
With so many informative and entertaining events planned for our Summit this year, I’m really looking forward to joining our IAGA Officers, Trustees and Counselors in welcoming our delegates to Half Moon Bay!
