US-facing gaming professionals planning to attend the first ICE Sports Betting USA (27th – 28th November, Convene, New York) can take advantage of Clarion’s Super Early Bird rate which offers delegates a 38% discount on the cost of attendance.
The Super Early Bird, which closes on Friday, August 24, 2018, represents the smartest way to attend the influential two day learning, business and networking event which will feature the thought leaders, regulators and industry experts who are already shaping the post PASPA betting landscape.
Following the success of the inaugural Sports Betting USA held last year in New York, NY, and driven by the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Murphy vs. National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) case in May, the 2018 event has been relocated in order to accommodate the expected increase in delegates keen to learn more about ‘the entire ecosystem, A-Z’ of sports betting.
Commenting on the expansion, Ewa Bakun, Head of Content at Clarion Gaming and the person responsible for producing the ICE Sports Betting USA agenda, explained: “Some of our attendees from the 2017 show will know that we were forced to shut down registration simply due to the level of demand, as well as taking the rare step of live streaming the debates into an over flow facility. In light of last year’s experience and of course the Supreme Court’s ruling, we have secured a significantly bigger venue and started our campaign much earlier. There is already a real momentum behind the conference with many key policy makers, legislators, sports governing bodies and gaming verticals already confirming their participation. The opportunities facing the industry following the SCOTUS ruling are vast and there’s no better event to engage with every relevant voice in the sports betting arena.”
The list of confirmed speakers for ICE Sports Betting USA includes: Patrick Garofalo, State Representative, Minnesota; Gary Pretlow, Assembly Member, New York; Danielle Boyd, Managing General Counsel, West Virginia Lottery; Art Manteris, VP Race and Sports Operations, Station Casinos, Red Rock Resorts; Andy Levinson, Senior Vice President, Tournament Administration, PGA TOUR; Vic Salerno, President, USFantasy; David Miller, Vice President and Assistant General Counsel, PGA TOUR; Casey Schwab, Vice President, Business and Legal Affairs, NFL Players Association; Nick Sakiewicz, Commissioner, National Lacrosse League; Kenny Gersh, EVP, Gaming & New Business Ventures, Major League Baseball; May Scheve-Reardon, Executive Director, Missouri Lottery; Stephen Durrell, Assistant Attorney General, Kansas Lottery; Chad Millman, Head of Media, The Action Network; Andrew Zarnett, Managing Director, Gaming, Lodging and Leisure High Yield Debt Analyst and Co-Head of High Yield Research, Deutsche Bank; John Janedis, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research, Jefferies LLC and Niall Connell, Senior Vice President of Commercial, Paddy Power Betfair US.
