Mark Pace, IGSA President, added“IGSA is honored to have Chairman Dreitzer address the GSATS attendees. His industry knowledge and experience will be invaluable as we look to integrate the many new technologies into the highly regulated gaming industry.

IGSA’s annual technology summit is in Phoenix, Arizona at the Harra’s Ak-Chin Hotel & Casino on NOvember 12-13. The two-day educational conference is aimed at providing legislators, regulators and industry decision makers in-depth information and examples of how technology can be used to help continue to evolve the gaming industry.

Attendees will benefit from hearing leading technology companies speak about technologies already in use within other industries and the impact they are having. They will learn how those technologies have applicability to the gaming industry and hear from companies on the leading edge of innovation and the technology’s implementation. Importantly, attendees will hear from legislators and regulators who have been tasked with creating laws and regulations and who are responsible for overseeing the technology’s use.
