The theme for SMART-Tech 2012:
The SMART-Tech
program and final Team of Speakers, Moderators, and Panelists is still
being updated. Presently, among the confirmed
speakers/moderators/panelists are: SMART-Tech 2012 is convening a very special group of industry leaders to capture the magic of this special time in our business and set us on a course to be the preeminent industry leaders that our players and lottery beneficiaries and Good Causes expect us to be. The Lottery is now entering a business climate in which the opportunities are going to come and go more quickly than ever. The need to act decisively is critical for lottery just as it is for all businesses everywhere. One of the obstacles to acting quickly and decisively is uncertainty about the future. So let's remove as much of the uncertainty as possible. That is the mission of SMART-Tech 2012. Included will be presentations from industry leaders from Canada and Europe who have worked through many of the issues that challenge U.S. lottery directors right now. One of those issues is integrating internet distribution of lottery products in ways that augment and support the land-based retailer network. Another is evolving existing lottery products to take full advantage of new media like internet and mobile. Click to find out more about this conference |
