 Thank you for participating in SMART-Tech Fort Lauderdale!  Best attendance ever and we hope you agree it was the best program content ever.  We want to thank all SMART-Tech partners who stretched to produce a fabulous program of presentations and panel discussions.  

We especially want to thank the Florida Lottery for co-hosting and our conference sponsors for enabling it all to happen, and Andreas Koetter, CEO WestLotto and Sue van der Merwe, Managing Director of Tabcorp Lotteries, for travelling from Germany and Australia to be our keynote speakers.  But truly all of the speakers are wonderful A-listers and as you can see (click here for conference program), they addressed the most relevant and pressing issues of the day.  

We like to think of that as our “brand” – identifying and drilling down on the hottest, perhaps even controversial topics that face the government gaming industry. 

PGRI Lottery Expo will be held the third or fourth week in October in Manhattan, NYC.  We will confirm specific dates and venue in a couple weeks.  We hope to see you there.  Thank you all for your support, and please let me know what we can do to improve our products and services and conferences.  We appreciate the guidance!
