read in every executive suite in the industry. Attendees at the East Coast
Gaming Congress will benefit tremendously from their insight," said Thomas
Sykes, a principal with conference co-producer SOSH Architects.

The signature event of the East Coast Gaming Congress is the "Industry
Leaders Forum," moderated by American Gaming Association President and CEO
