BingoWorld Joins Southern Gaming Summit In Mississippi For 2010
LAS VEGAS (April 7, 2009) – BNP Media is pleased to announce that BingoWorld Conference & Expo, the world’s largest bingo show, will join forces with Southern Gaming Summit, the country’s largest commercial gaming trade show outside of Las Vegas, beginning in 2010. BingoWorld at Southern Gaming Summit is scheduled for May 5-6, 2010, at the completely renovated Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center in Biloxi, Miss.
“After 13 successful years in Las Vegas, it’s time to provide the BingoWorld audience expanded opportunities for education and networking,” said Charles Anderer, BNP’s Group Publisher, Gaming. “Southern Gaming Summit is another established show with a great following, and BingoWorld attendees will be able to tap into a broader range of content, products and services. This is especially important as every segment of the gaming industry faces similar challenges to attract customers and grow the revenue base.”
The new BingoWorld will provide the same superior educational opportunities that attendees have come to expect, with a full conference program dedicated to this popular form of charitable, tribal, commercial and online gaming. Even better, BingoWorld at Southern Gaming Summit attendees will also have access to the entire Southern Gaming Summit conference program. Many topics at the Summit have immediate relevance to bingo operators, including marketing, security and other operational issues.
While historically BingoWorld has annually attracted attendees from more than 30 states and several countries, the move to Biloxi should bring a stronger Southern audience to the show. Bingo is extremely popular in many Southern states, including Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Florida and even several Caribbean countries. Charitable bingo was also recently legalized in Arkansas, with plenty of growth opportunities there especially as a move to eliminate a bingo tax works its way through the Legislature.
Clearly, attendees will find better networking opportunities than ever, and bingo vendors will showcase their products and services to a much larger crowd. Regular exhibitors at Southern Gaming Summit will also benefit from exposure to a brand new audience.
Everyone will also be enchanted by the charm and history of the Gulf Coast, which offers an exciting array of attractions, including mile after mile of scenic coastal beaches, fun-filled resort casinos, championship golf courses and award-winning restaurants, sure to entertain visitors and promote elevated event attendance.
Southern Gaming Summit is produced jointly by BNP Media and the Mississippi Casino Operators Association. It annually attracts thousands of attendees from perhaps the most resilient gaming market in the world, and provides an unmatched local voice for the gaming industry.
