Thank you to all of you who presented, served on a panel discussion, and participated at Smart-Tech. This was PGRI’s fourth annual event in NYC and has become a great venue for lotteries to delve into the most relevant issues of the hour, and we so appreciate the privilege of hosting it and visiting with you.  The next issue of PGRI Magazine will include an in-depth analysis of the issues we explored.  Too, the conference was video-recorded and will be made freely available to everyone on www.PGRItalks.com.  We’ve received much positive feedback and hope that everyone accomplished their objectives.  Our next event will be held at the Trump Miami Beach Hotel on November 4, 5, 6, and 7th.  Lottery Expo Miami is especially exciting for the participation from our colleagues in Latin America.  The North America track is on Tuesday, the LatAm track on Thursday, and we all come together on Wednesday. Thanks to the support of our commercial partners and sponsors, the hosted receptions held every night of the conference have become a wonderful venue to talk with industry leaders from  all around the world. Please check in at www.PublicGaming.org for PGRI conference updates.  Thank you again - We look forward to seeing you again.  Please e-mail me (pjason@publicgaming.com) with any questions, feedback, guidance, or comments of any kind.   Smart-Tech 2013 was held April 8, 9, 10, 2013 at the Helmsley Park Lane, New York.
