NJ Governor to Keynote East Coast Gaming Congress

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy will return as a keynote speaker at the 24th East Coast Gaming Congress to be held October 25-26 at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City.

Murphy will be the luncheon speaker on October 26, where he will address New Jersey’s policy on a variety of critical issues facing the gaming industry.

“This is the third keynote address by Governor Murphy at our event. He is a longstanding champion of gaming as an effective public-policy tool, and his policies will affect the industry around the world,” said Lloyd D. Levenson, CEO of the Cooper Levenson law firm and a founder of the conference. “New Jersey has long been a leader in gaming policy, and Governor Murphy is determined to maintain that leadership role.”

The first governor to address the conference was the late Brendan Byrne, who championed gaming in Atlantic City at a time when Nevada was the only state in the nation to offer legal casinos. Subsequent governors that have spoken at the conference have included James Florio, Jon Corzine and Jim McGreevey.
