Global Interactive Gaming Summit and Expo (GIGSE)
March 26, 2005
The seventh annual Global Interactive Gaming Summit and Expo (GIGSE)
is on schedule to be the largest event of its kind ever held.
Taking place between June 13-15, 2005 at the Palais des Congres in
Montreal, Quebec and produced by River City Group, the Expo floor
has already sold out and is being expanded.
Between 1,000-1,200 interactive gambling executives from 45 countries
are expected to attend, and with 80 days to go to the event, the Expo
hall is already filled with 63 companies who will use the Palais as
their company headquarters for the 3-day conference. An additional
13 companies are sponsoring related activities, events or promotions
during GIGSE.
Sue Schneider, CEO of River City Group, noted, "We're so
pleased that the industry is responding as they are to the planning
of this event. With the rise of new i-gaming products such as online
poker, it's an exciting time for the industry. And we're pleased that
we've been able to hold the line on prices for this event for the
past three years so that it's not only the largest but the best value
in the world for the interactive gambling industry."
The program will include debate and presentations regarding many of
the issues facing the industry. Obviously, discussions regarding marketing
concerns, fraud control and cross-border legal wrangles will be covered.
In addition, many of the leading licensing jurisdictions from among
the 85 governments globally which sanction internet gaming operations
will be featured.
Carrying over from the success of the 2004 GIGSE Sumo Wrestling Grudge
Matches held to raise money for the UK-based nonprofit GamCare, the
2005 GIGSE will feature both a Silent Auction and another head-to-head
match up of industry executives, this time in Segway Challenge races.
The beneficiary of this year's charity events is the California Council
on Problem Gambling (www.calproblemgambling.org), a nonprofit organization
dedicated to assisting problem gamblers and their families, and to
promote awareness, education, research, prevention and treatment for
problem gambling.
Early bird registration rates are still available via secure online
registration page on the event website, and offer another way to capitalize
on the quality audience in attendance. With delegate fees well below
those of other events that serve the I-gaming industry, GIGSE has
the best value, best networking and best opportunities to reach this
market.
