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.

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.

In addition to the CEO Roundtable, ECGC includes the NexGen Gaming Forum on June 13, a cocktail reception at The Pool at Harrah’s on Day 1, the Keynote Luncheon with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy on Day 2, and outstanding networking opportunities.
