This year has been a different one, as many gaming conferences and conventions had to be postponed and delayed. Some of them had to be rescheduled for next year, while others came up with a premium online platform and solved the issue. The New York Council on Problem Gambling made it clear that October will see its special two-day event take place online.

Annual Conference

For the very first time, the problem gambling conference will take place online, allowing more individuals the chance to explore everything it has in store and learn more regarding the problematic issue. October 8 will see the launch of the annual conference bringing as many as 20 hours of information flow.

It could end up saving people’s relationships and bankroll when all is said and done. This year’s virtual conference will end up bringing more information to the table and allow more people to attend virtually and obtain it. All panels and conversations part of this new experience are going to happen live.

The annual conference aims to bring together like-minded people seeking more details on the ways they could battle gambling addiction and promote a healthy relationship with gambling. It is important that it stays as affordable as possible, which is the reason why individuals interested in attending should pay only US$20 upon registering for participation. Such a rate is expected to eventually draw a wider audience.

October 8

Each session part of the annual conference is about to last some 50 minutes and promote more breaks within the daily schedule. October 8 is about to see the introduction of various topics such as Generation Z: Natural Born Problem Gamblers, focusing on the younger generation of gambling. Another topic of discussion would be Reflections on Problem Gambling and Poverty/Homelessness.

Throughout the day, there will be various other topics covering a wide range, but individuals attending will also get the chance to benefit from the lunch and dinner breaks providing more networking opportunities. The second day of the two-day problem gambling is about to bring a wide discussion on cognitive impairment and gambling addiction. October 9 is also expected to bring a conversation regarding the path of recovery of problem gambling individuals.

The ultimate goal of this annual conference would be complete and well-rounded coverage of the topic, providing different perspectives and approaches for battling problem gambling. Registration is currently available online and people interested will be asked to provide personal information upon registering.
