The robust agenda for three-day NCLGS Winter Meeting includes six legislative committee hearings that will focus on legal, regulatory, operational aspects related to sports betting, lottery and casino (commercial and tribal). Keynote speakers will be announced in October.

“We have developed a cutting-edge Winter Meeting agenda based on the feedback of dozens of legislators from across the country. From start to finish, it addresses vital issues that legislatures – as well as other stakeholders – need to consider as they seek to understand the many facets of gaming,” said NCLGS President William P. Coley II, a senator from Ohio. “We invite anyone with an interest in the policy, regulation and outlook of legalized gaming to attend this important event.”

The NCLGS Winter Meeting agenda includes:

• Six legislative committee sessions: Casinos, Emerging Forms of Gaming, Indian Gaming, Lotteries, Responsible Gaming, and Pari-Mutuel
• Keynote Luncheon Address
• Two IMGL Masterclass panels conducted by the International Masters of Gaming Law focusing on sports betting and the state-tribal compacting process
• Special general session panel focusing on how gaming can attract capital investment and generate employment
• Thursday evening cocktail reception
