The Gaming Standards Association (GSA) announces its first gaming industry focused conference event: GSA Technology Summit – Focus on Blockchain. The event is scheduled for November 8 – 9, 2018 in the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, Nevada.
According to GSA attendees should include GSA members and anyone active in the gaming industry – operators, regulators and suppliers – to this informative summit around Blockchain.
The Blockchain technology—Phase II of the internet—will have a dramatic impact on lives and businesses. It is poised to revolutionize data sharing, security and has the ability to provide regulatory authorities with previously unobtainable levels of transparency. Those looking at how this technology will impact the gaming industry will be able to listen to companies that are using the technology today and regulators as they debate the benefits Blockchain provides them.
GSA President Peter DeRaedt said, “We have been approached for many years to bring more value to a conference program by emphasizing real knowledge over a ‘marketing session.’ For this unique summit we’ve used our extensive contacts within and outside the gaming industry to bring together speakers and participants who have the experience and know-how to offer attendees a more grounded foundation and education about this technology.”
Current companies that have committed to participate in the event are: Axes Network, Clear Poker, Dominode, Gioco Ventures, LLC, Global Market Advisors, IBM, Innovum Technology, INTEL, Loyra Abogados, Malta Gaming Authority, McDonald Carano, New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement, ORACLE, RedChalk Group, Secure Communication, Berkeley Center for Law & Business, Unikrn.
Becky Harris, the chairwoman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, will be joined on a panel with the two immediate past chairs, A.G. Burnett and Mark Lipparelli.
Blockchain Committee Chair Earle G. Hall said, “Blockchain is the answer to so many of our inefficiencies. It is inherently designed for transparent, secure and distributed information flow. Blockchain will exponentially increase the potential for collaboration, efficiency and connectivity. We look forward to this event and expect to truly educate the industry on this topic.”
