Commissioner Gayle Cameron, who was instrumental in planning the conference, informed the Commission of the conference's progress: “There was so much interest in going to Boston that these two organizations decided to hold their fall conferences due to worldwide travel restrictions,” Cameron said. “But it will still be a very, very substantial conference. Some of the sessions will be live streamed [and] There will be a hybrid model for those who cannot attend.”
Speakers or presentations during the conference include Edward Bedrosian, the former executive director of the Commission who now leads the gambling regulation practice at Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe; Jill Griffin, the Commission's long-time director of diversity and legislation, who has just left the agency; Mark Vander Linden, Commission's Director of Research and Responsible Gaming; and Rachel Volberg, a researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who reports regularly to the committee.
Cameron, Committee Chair, Cathy Judd-Stein and others from the Gaming Committee are expected to participate by providing welcoming remarks or attending panel discussions during the conference. Earlier, when Cameron updated the committee at the joint conference, she said that IAGRA is expecting “maybe a quarter of what they normally get, and that's somewhere between 300 and 400” and that IMGL is about 100 for the week part what the participants expected.
