The 23rd annual East Coast Gaming Congress and NextGen Gaming Forum will take place June 12 and 13 at Harrah’s Waterfront Conference Center.
This year’s keynote speakers are Gov. Phil Murphy and Bill Miller, the new president and CEO of the American Gaming Association.
According to a press release, topics to be discussed include the U.S. Department of Justice’s recent opinion on the Wire Act, the national impact of legalized sports betting, the evolution of e-sports and casino gaming expansion, the event’s organizers said.
Several high-ranking gaming executives are scheduled to participate in panel discussions, including: David Cordish, CEO and chairman of the Cordish Company; Mario Kontomerkos, CEO of Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment; George Papanier, CEO of Twin River; Thomas Reeg, CEO of Eldorado Resorts; Timothy Wilmott, CEO of Penn National Gaming; and Greg Carlin, CEO of Rush Street Gaming.
“The East Coast Gaming Congress is set up to be significantly different from other gaming conferences,” said Michael Pollock, co-founder of the conference and managing director of Spectrum Gaming Group. “It’s designed to bring in decision makers to speak to an audience who are decision makers in their own right.”
