Brazilian Ministry of Fazenda participates at NASPL 2018 in Cleveland

The North American State Lottery and Province Lottery Association organizes its annual conference in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, from today until next Thursday. This year, there will be Brazilian participation through the Secretary of Fiscal, Energy and Lottery Monitoring (SEFEL), Alexandre Manoel. As part of its permanent training on the current situation of the international market, other technicians from SEFEL have just returned from the IAGR Conferência Copenhagen 2018.

A 'GPS for or success' will be held at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland with the presence of approximately 1000 delegates and vendors from around the world. During the meeting, awards will also be given to innovation, advertising, management and product and service quality for the companies and organizations that make up the global lottery industry.

“Where are we going? That is the question. Where are lotteries going? Where are consumers going? Where should we be looking for future success?”, are some of the questions that the organization makes on its website to invite the industry to find the answers during the event.

“The road to success is filled with twists and turns, detours and delays. NASPL and the Ohio Lottery are putting together a cutting-edge curriculum to help you navigate while implementing projects and product launches. Industry trailblazers will share directions they followed to launch programs like Business Analytics, Cashless transactions, Retailer incentives and NASPL standards”, says Dennis Berg, Director de la Ohio Lottery Commission.
