GLI President and CEO James Maida said: "The support we have received from our regulator and operator clients is humbling, and we are honored that you chose to spend two days with us learning about industry trends, current and upcoming challenges and cutting-edge technology. Every aspect of this event was a success. We are proud to offer our expertise to the gaming industry.”
While the annual, two-day event, held at Luxor Las Vegas March 15-16, is always a unique opportunity for regulators and operators to absorb information from industry leaders and voice their concerns and opinions, this year’s conference took an even more elevated approach to industry learning.
Brand new to this year’s Regulators Roundtable was the GLI Innovation Room, which offered attendees personal experiences with up-and-coming technology, and the Ask the Experts Lounge. Featuring live tools demonstrations as well as advanced technologies that attendees could play with and ask questions about, the room was staffed with experts and acted as an open forum for attendees to speak about any gaming-related topic.
Popular sessions included "Esports Live Demonstration and Session,” which featured a live athlete duel before the audience; "A Look Back and Lessons Learned,” which focused on the emergence of new content and technology; and "Future Focused: A Discussion of New Technology in Gaming – Trends on the Casino Floor and Beyond – Roundtable/Open Forum,” which allowed the audience to voice their thoughts and opinions on consumer trends.
Throughout the event, attendees were encouraged to use the improved Regulators Roundtable mobile application, which was accessible via their smartphones. With the event’s mobile app, attendees were able to access the event agenda, read speaker biographies, participate in live polls, network with one another and keep track of GLI’s social wall and event activity feed.
GLI and GLI University will produce the Latin American and Caribbean Regulators Roundtable next October 2017, in Panama City.
