Coming up fast in the world of online gambling is the GiGSE, or the Global iGaming Summit & Expo to be held at the Palais Des Congres, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Strategic Key Stakeholders Conference will run May 12^th and 13^th 2010 with Pre-conference Workshops on May 11^th. The list of speakers that have been invited is long and impressive. Executives from all aspects of the online gambling industry will be giving their opinions. Ed Andrewes Managing Director Ladbrokes eGaming Jacob Appelsmith Bureau Chief, Special Assistant Attorney General Department of justice, Division of Law Enforcement, Bureau of Gambling Control Phill Brear Head of Gambling Regulation Gibraltar Regulatory Authority are just but a few of the invitees. This conference looks like it will be one of the most interesting yet mainly because it is happening in Montreal on the North American continent where for the most part online gambling is prohibited by law. It will be a varied group with everyone represented basically from Leslie Lohse, Chairwoman from the California Tribal Business Alliance to Chris Gallardo, Legislative Director Poker Voters of America and the CEO of Harrahs Entertainment, Mitch Garber. The web site for the conference promises critical updates on the legislative progress from the key influencers and decision makers on the US political scene. Starting the conference with the intense workshops scheduled for the day before the conference should get participants motivated to learn as much as they can about the moves planned by provincial politicians in Canada and the legislators of individual U.S. States such as Florida and California. The first day of the conference should prove exciting as right after the opening remarks by the CEO of the Canadian Gaming Association Bill Rutsey, there will be a Strategic keynote debate, key stakeholders discuss the pros and cons of regulating online gambling – envisioning the shape of the regulations and its beneficiaries. The two day event wraps up with a brain storming session to give the participant a head start for a North American online gaming operations or for global expansion.
