This letter is to invite you to attend and participate on the SMART-TECH 2007 program. The conference will be held at the new Wynn Las Vegas hotel, from April 17 - April 20.
There will be a large contingent of directors and CEO's in attendance, so we hope you can join us! The theme this year is POSITIONING OURSELVES FOR CHANGE.
SMART-TECH has always been about new ideas and innovations that work. The need for ideas and innovations that will help us be successful is more pressing than ever. This year we will take a serious look at how the changes in our industry will impact us. Where are the opportunities, what are the obstacles, and how can we stay on the leading edge of this dynamic marketplace? How can highly regulated lottery operators compete in what is becoming a highly competitive gaming industry? How can we create a "Brand Lottery" that will differentiate us from other gaming venues? The answers to these questions and more...
So come to SMART-TECH 2007 to participate with your colleagues as Lottery CEO's and Directors, Marketing Directors, Product Managers, vendor executives, and other key Lottery and industry leaders discuss these ideas and present strategies that will help the lotteries prosper. And of course, no SMART-TECH 2007 Conference would be complete without the Smart-Ideas Presentations and Awards, the VIP Technology Tour, and strong Keynote presentations.
A special highlight of Smart-Tech will be the presentation of PGRI's Lifetime Achievement Award to Vic Poleschuk, CEO of the British Columbia Lottery.
This year's Smart-Tech will be a very special conference. So please plan to stay until Thursday evening or Friday. I very much look forward to visiting with you!
With best regards,
Paul Jason
