The Arizona Indian Gaming Association (AIGA) will host the 2024 AIGA Expo on October 15th-17th, 2024 at Harrah’s Ak-Chin Hotel & Casino. The annual event celebrates the achievements of the Indian gaming industry and its tribal communities in Arizona. 

Tribal leaders and gaming industry professionals will share updates, exchange insights, and engage in forums on key topics impacting tribal gaming and communities. Ak-Chin Indian Community has announced its support as the event’s presenting sponsor.

“The three-day expo will provide a valuable experience for industry executives, tribal leaders, and gaming professionals,” said Robert Miguel, Chairman of the Ak-Chin Indian Community and AIGA. “Our panels and forums will cover various topics crucial to Indian Country and the Indian gaming industry.”

According to the association, this year’s expo will dive deep into the most pressing topics within the industry, "providing a unique platform to showcase the cutting-edge products, services, and solutions driving the future of tribal gaming and business."

A highlight of the event will be the Chef’s Challenge, celebrating Arizona’s rich culinary heritage under the theme 'Native Flavors: Arizona Is Your Pantry,' and the 'Our Voice Matters' tribal leaders forum, where tribal leaders will discuss the future of tribal gaming and the broader implications for Arizona.

“The 2024 AIGA Expo offers a unique opportunity for tribal leaders, industry professionals, and gaming executives to come together and explore the future of tribal gaming,” said Judy Ferreira, AIGA Executive Director. 

“This year’s event will highlight the significance of tribal voices and perspectives in shaping the path forward. We are excited to partner with the Ak-Chin Indian Community as our presenting sponsor to deliver a dynamic and impactful experience for all attendees.”
