Spectrum Gaming Group and law firm Cooper Levenson, producers of the East Coast Gaming Congress & NextGen Forum, announced that New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, Monumental Sports CEO Ted Leonsis and American Gaming Association President and CEO Bill Miller will deliver the keynote addresses for this year’s event, to be held June 12-13 in Atlantic City.
Murphy not only signed the enabling legislation in 2018 but also placed the first legal bets in New Jersey. He has been a vital supporter of his state’s gaming industry.
Miller, the recently installed President and CEO of the AGA, has been an important voice as sports betting rolls out across the country. Leonsis is founder, chairman, majority owner and CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns and operates the Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, Washington Mystics, and Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C. He was an early supporter of sports betting, offering his vision of how it can integrate with sports.
“Our keynote speakers encompass top decision-makers in the critical worlds of government, gaming and professional sports, a perfect combination to provide essential insight to our audience,” said Spectrum Gaming Group Managing Director Michael Pollock, a co-founder and organizer of the conference.
