The East Coast Gaming Congress started in 1996 with a simple premise: to provide an outstanding forum for the gaming industry issues of the day. At that time, legalized casino gaming was firmly established in Atlantic City but was just emerging in three other eastern states. Today, casino gambling is active in 10 eastern states and is being debated in the legislative halls of almost every other state in the East.

Today, the East Coast Gaming Congress covers the competitive landscape from Maine to West Virginia to Florida, and all points in between. We seek to attract the most influential voices impacting the gaming industry. To that end, our roster of speakers over the years has included five sitting or former New Jersey governors, several U.S. senators and representatives, along with numerous elected and appointed officials from various states. The highest-ranking executives form the gaming industry, along with Wall Street analysts and experts from other disciplines, regularly speak here.

We thank all our speakers, past and present. We applaud all our attendees as well for helping the East Coast Gaming Congress reach its lofty goal: to serve as a premier forum for new ideas that will guide this industry for many years to come.

Sincerely,
