| Fifth Gaming Technology Summit to be biggest, best yet | |||
NEWSLAS VEGAS (February 8, 2007) – The gaming industry’s leading technology conference, Gaming Technology Summit, returns to the Green Valley Ranch here for its fifth renewal May 22-24, 2007. The 2007 edition reflects the growing nature of the Summit, featuring an expanded program and a larger exhibit floor. “It has been very exciting to watch the Gaming Technology Summit grow significantly each year since its debut in 2003. It’s now the premier conference and trade show focusing on real-world technology challenges and solutions for the gaming industry,” said Saverio R. Scheri III, Managing Director at WhiteSand Consulting, co-producer of the Summit along with Ascend Media. Scheri noted that the Summit has gone far beyond its roots in the casino industry. “As the distinctions between casinos, racetracks and lotteries have blurred over time, it’s important to address all gaming segments,” he explained. As a result, for 2007 Gaming Technology Summit is adding a conference track dedicated to the lottery industry, a sure complement to the full program on casino and racetrack gaming and hospitality operations. In addition to the expanded conference program, GTS is again presenting the Project Management Forum on May 22, prior to the Summit’s official start. Last year marked the debut of this popular workshop, presented by Michael R. Wood, a former gaming CIO who is a nationally recognized expert in the field of business process improvement. The Gaming Technology Summit addresses the critical role of technology throughout all types of gaming facilities and the demands it places on gaming professionals to learn new skills, integrate systems and make hardware and software investment decisions. More than 500 technology professionals and vendors from the United States, Canada, Australia, Mexico and the United Kingdom attended GTS 2006. Given the Summit’s popularity, the exhibit area has been expanded for 2007, providing even more opportunities for vendors to reach key customers. Sponsorships are also available. Any company interested in being a part of GTS should contact Lesley Grashow, Trade Show Sales Manager, Ascend Media Gaming Group, (203) 938-2782 or lgrashow@ascendmedia.com. The Summit is co-produced by WhiteSand Consulting, which provides strategy, operations and technology consulting services to the gaming and hospitality industries; and Ascend Media Gaming Group, the leading producer of trade magazines, newsletters and trade shows serving the gaming industry around the world.
