Five prominent gaming CEOs will speak at East Coast Gaming Congress 2018

The CEO Roundtable has been the signature event of ECGC since its founding in 1997, providing a provocative and news-making forum for prominent gaming industry leaders.

CEOs in this year’s Roundtable will examine the most critical issues facing the gaming industry, the outlooks for their companies, public policy issues, industry trends, and other timely issues.

The participants are:

• James Allen, Chairman, Hard Rock International, and Chief Executive Officer, Seminole Gaming
• Greg Carlin, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Rush Street Gaming
• David S. Cordish, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Cordish Companies
• Holly Gagnon, President and Chief Executive Officer, Seneca Gaming Corp.

The CEO Roundtable will be moderated by ECGC co-founders Lloyd D. Levenson, CEO of Cooper Levenson, Attorneys at Law, and Michael Pollock, Managing Director of Spectrum Gaming Group.
