This week, the GGB Podcast features Willy & Jo Allison, the organizers of the World Game Protection Conference, on how they are preparing to present the event for the first time in almost three years.
For 16 years, the World Game Protection Conference was the place to be to learn about the latest issues and trends in casino security and surveillance. One of gaming’s most interesting events, the WGPC attracts security and surveillance executives from all jurisdictions, as well as casino officials who want to understand how to improve their operations. Willy and Jo Allison talk about how the pandemic impacted the show. In 2020, it was scheduled to be held just days after the casino industry shut down for the first time ever in Nevada, and 2021 was a wash as well. Now the 2022 show, scheduled for February 15-17 at the Tropicana in Las Vegas, has added multiple speakers and sessions, and now includes a full day of training for those in the security, surveillance and any other department responsible for risk management. They spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros last week from their temporary home in Mexico. (See video of the interview below)
