Global Gaming Expo 2006

Native American gaming leaders can look forward to a keynote on the future of tribal gaming, conference sessions providing practical, real-world solutions, one-of-a-kind networking opportunities and more as part of the programming focused on tribal gaming issues at Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2006. G2E is scheduled for Nov. 14-16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with the G2E Training & Development Institute taking place Nov. 13.

After the successful debut last year of the first tribal gaming-focused keynote, G2E 2006 will once again turn the spotlight on these issues in Tribal Gaming Summit. In the session, Ernie Stevens, Jr., chairman of the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) will moderate a panel discussion of the most pressing issues in tribal gaming today and their expected economic impact. Panelists will include Anthony Miranda, chairman of the California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) and other tribal gaming leaders.

This year, the G2E Signature Series will take a closer look at important issues faced by tribal gaming professionals in the conference session Investing in Indian Gaming: Wall Street Is Watching which will examine how Class II gaming casinos can be financed and how to find investment capital without a management company, as well as the current Congressional mood and proposed regulations and legislation. Session attendees will have a unique opportunity to learn how to maximize increasing amounts of leverage on Native American gaming enterprises, unusual project financings, and how to handle the many non-registered issues in the market.

The tribal government conference track at G2E 2006 has been reenergized and will not only survey the regulatory issues facing the industry, but provide a forum for new insights into the practical business concerns and strategies for running a successful tribal gaming operation as well. Sessions include The Money Train: Financing Indian Gaming, The Next Wave: Staying Competitive, Tribe-to-Business: Working with Tribal Governments, The Compacting Process: Does It Really Work?, Media Matters: Indian Gaming & The Press, Tribal Diversification: Investment Portfolio Strategies and more.
