NEW YORK – (Press Release) -- GEM Communications is pleased to announce the return of the New York Gaming Summit, April 21-22, 2003, at the Desmond Hotel & Conference Center in Albany.
Last year's inaugural New York Gaming Summit drew more than 300 key executives from the casino, lottery and racing industries, architects, heavy constructors and gaming stock analysts who explored issues related to the expansion of gaming in the United States' largest commercial market.
"As New York moves to the top of the list of new opportunities in the American gaming industry, we're delighted to be back in Albany this April," said Charles Anderer, vice president and group publisher, GEM Communications. "Some of the biggest names in tribal gaming, commercial casinos and horse racing will analyze the state of gaming in New York, and discuss how to help it and the industry make the most of this opportunity."
Several facets about the Summit will be significantly larger this year following the success of last year's sold-out event. The Conference lineup will grow from five to six seminars, which will be housed in a larger conference room in 2003. An expanded networking area will feature a limited number of expo-style booths this year.
American Gaming Association President and CEO Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr., will present the luncheon keynote address on April 22. The Summit will kick off with an opening night reception and brief remarks the evening of April 21.
