LOTTERY EXPO 2012 explodes on the scene. Registrations now exceed 250 people and more are signing up every day. They are coming to hear world-class speakers who are also industry leaders tackle some of the industry's trickiest issues, including:

Players Clubs and Loyalty Programs are a fabulous step in the right direction. But what's next? How can lotteries increase player registration in Clubs and Loyalty Programs? And how can lotteries leverage that registered player relationship into increased sales?

Engaging retailer support for multi-channel distribution. The multi-channel approach is both necessary and inevitable. The opposition of NACS (association of convenience stores) continues to be a big obstacle in the U.S. But there ARE solutions and as an industry we need to power through this most perplexing of challenges.
