ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – A panel of distinguished Wall Street experts will examine the gaming industry from a financial perspective as part of the East Coast Gaming Congress and NexGen Gaming Forum, September 21-23 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The speakers will address whether traditional casino companies’ acquisition of digital providers, technology companies and even media companies are panning out. Is it smart for sports betting and igaming operators to spend lavishly on advertising and promotions? Also, what does the future hold for casinos that are now facing competition from digital gaming and even their own state lotteries?
The panel will be moderated by David Isaacson, Senior Vice President, Spectrum Gaming Capital and the Wall Street experts who will take part in the “Analyze This” discussion include:
- Gabriel Fineberg, Vice President, Beach Point Capital Management
- Colin Mansfield, Sector Head, US Gaming, Lodging & Leisure, Fitch Ratings
- Joel Simkins, Managing Director, Houlihan Lokey
- Teddy Swigert, Managing Director, Credit Suisse
The panel will begin its discussion at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 22.
The conference will kick off with an opening reception on Wednesday, September 21. There also will be three keynote addresses during the conference and a networking cocktail party on Thursday evening.
Additional panel discussions will focus on issues facing the industry, including:
- Sports Betting: Which Model is Working Best?
- Is Gaming Growing Responsibly?
- Gaming Revenues Going Up in Smoke?
- The Best Things in Gaming Right Now Are …
- State Regulators: Keeping Their Promise to Keep Pace
- Whither Igaming?
- Creating One Industry: Lotteries, Gaming
