The East Coast Gaming Congress has announced its full lineup of speakers who will attend the 28th edition of its annual convention.
ECGC is the longest-running gambling conference in the US and will be taking place on April 15 and 16 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
There are 40 confirmed speakers at this year’s ECGC event, with notable names including the Chairman of the New York State Senate Committee on Racing, Gaming and Wagering, Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., and the Chairman of Hard Rock International and CEO of Seminole Gaming, James F. Allen.
This year’s conference will also present a Lifetime Achievement Award to keynote speaker Jim Allen. Previous speakers in past ECGC years have included former and acting governors of New Jersey and CEOs who have spearheaded the American Gaming Association.
Other notable speakers confirmed to be present at ECGC include Brown & Weinraub founding partner Patrick Brown, Executive Director for the New Jersey Lottery James Carey, ICR partner Jacques Cornet, CEO of Rush Street Gaming Tim Drehkoff, and Delaware Lottery Executive Director Helene Keeley.
Conference co-founder Lloyd D. Levenson said: “Our lineup of speakers, ranging from the Governor of New Jersey to 10 industry-leading CEOs and beyond, makes this the strongest lineup of speakers in our entire history.”
Fellow conference co-founder Michael Pollock added: “The topics to be addressed will include the future of Downstate gaming in New York, the convergence of lotteries, changes in technology as well as the challenges posed by unregulated gaming, along with other critical issues.”
ECGC should offer opportunities for networking, new sponsorships, and professional development for both businesses and personnel as one of the gambling industry’s most prominent events of the year.
Notable organizers and producers for the event include Cooper Levenson, Evolution, Sightline, and Playdoit.max. The full schedule for the event is now available ahead of its mid-April 2025 commencement.
