ONLINE GAMBLING CONFERENCE CORNER
Gearing up for GIGSE...and a new BLOGSE!
It's not too early to diarise one of the industry's main networking and conference
events - the eighth annual Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo (GIGSE)
scheduled for the Palais des Congres in Montreal over May 16-18 this year.
Globally recognised as the main event for the online gaming industry, this
year's theme of "No Limits" hits on the industry's vast potential for
growth and acceptance.
In response to exhibitor and delegate demand, exhibit hall hours have been extended
to give exhibitors more time to meet and do business with the growing GIGSE attendance.
GIGSE 2005 witnessed a 50 percent growth over the 2004 event in terms of total
attendance and exhibition space and 2006 will be even bigger, say the organisers
River City Group. The exhibit hall will be open from 11:30am to 6:30pm on Wednesday,
May 17 and open from 12:00pm to 5:00pm on Thursday, May 18.
Once again the conference will wrap up with the third annual GIGSE Charity Event,
with Gordon House, the provider of both the GamAid and GamStop programs
based in the United Kingdom, selected as the recipient of the generous donations
to the Silent Auction and all donations associated with the Charity Event. GIGSE
Charity events have already raised over US $75,000 to
promote responsible gambling charities and practices.
The exhibition portion of GIGSE has already received commitments from over 48
companies.
River City Group has also begun an event weblog (or blog) for GIGSE
2006, ludicrously named BLOGSE. Hoping to capitalise on the "sagacity
and clever wit" of the RCG staff, BLOGSE is intended to deliver news and
information about GIGSE in a more informal and hopefully comical way.
