With more than 600 participants, including government leaders, suppliers and operators, the ECGC offers a great opportunity to exchange opinions and make decisions in a casual but professional environment.In a joint statement Michael Pollock, managing director of Spectrum Gaming Group, and Lloyd Levenson, CEO of the Cooper Levenson law firm, announced the emphasis of this year’s conference will be ‘understanding convergence’, focusing on ‘policy issues relevant to both online and land-based gaming.’ The first session on Monday will cover the topic ‘Lessons Learned: Takeaways from the Launch of iGaming in the U.S.’, moderated by Gene Johnson, from Spectrum Gaming Group and featuring a number of speakers with extensive experience in the field, including Tom Balance, president of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, Bill Fasy, president of Delaware Park, Mark Lipparelli, former chairman of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, David Rebuck, director of New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement and Jeff Ifrah, partner and founding member of Ifrah Law.

How are they continuing to ramp up operations in a nascent industry? What are the best practices for new jurisdictions to follow? What has worked best and what are the pitfalls to avoid?
