The opportunities for networking which the conference provides, has been discussed very favorably by participants in this fourth year of the event. Bringing together leaders from internet poker rooms as well as from regular casinos is what the congress has in mind. ‘Live’ and ‘online’ interest in poker will split the conference events taking in the development of participant’s trust in internet playing, the connection between poker players and sports wagers, and discussing TV poker.

The focus on the expanding markets in Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America will feature this year’s conference. The focus, on the second day, will be on how to advance the game’s purpose can live and online poker matches join up.

The particularly interesting subject, ‘Remaking the Poker Market’, will be taken up by Jim Ryan who since June 2008 has been the CEO of PartyGaming and Steve Lispscomb, the establisher CEO of World Poker Tour, both men will be the keynote speakers of the event. ‘Tackle the challenges of surviving and thriving in a poker market is constantly evolving’, is what is written in the website of the World Poker Congress. In dealing with the transient moods of the internet poker market, Ryan has garnered an enormous wealth of experience. The World Poker Tour has seen Lipscomb evolve into a crucial component, which includes the subscription-based internet poker room’s development.

According to Lipscomb, no other conference can be compared at all to the World Poker Congress. Present to make business deals are the decision takers from the poker world’s most thrilling firms.
