May 12, 2003
The Institute for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming at the University of Nevada, Reno is sponsoring the 12th International Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking. The conference will take place May 26-30, 2003, at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.
The objective of the conference is to stimulate research and facilitate discussion and debate about gambling and commercial gaming throughout the world.
Over the 20th Century we witnessed many forms of gambling legalized and legitimized, as commercial gaming became an increasing part of our communities, our entertainment options, and our public policy discourse.
During our lifetimes, we have witnessed many individual forms of commercial gaming evolve, reach maturity, and struggle to reinvent themselves in response to competitive pressures and consumer preferences. Today, societies continue to seek answers to difficult questions that gambling—as a business, as an activity, as a vice, and as a public policy tool—presents to society.
This conference has a history back to 1974, and is recognized as the first to bring together experts from all over the world, representing a diverse array of disciplines, to examine and analyze gambling from many perspectives.
Leaders and representatives from commercial gaming industries, academia, research organizations, regulatory agencies, and the helping services—as well as gamblers and the general public—will gather to present and evaluate research, discuss new trends and technologies, and explore the changes and challenges created by the increased presence of commercial gaming to citizens throughout the world.
Individuals are invited to submit papers for presentation at the 12th International Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking. !!!
