Poker Congress in Sweden Set for June 2006
The poker boom of the past several years is often attributed to two elements: the televising of live poker events, such as the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour; and the growth of online poker rooms, where anyone can learn to play the game without the pressure of other players across the table. But what do these two issues have in common? New poker players!
"Online poker operators are facing increasing competition at all levels," says Sue Schneider, president of one of the conference organizers, the River City Group, the leading information provider for online gaming. "The World Poker Congress will highlight the strategies, products and services that will help any online poker room stay at the top of their game."
The World Poker Congress, scheduled for June 27-28 at the City Conference Center in Stockholm, is touted as the first conference to integrate the online and live aspects of the burgeoning poker industry. With two tracks, one devoted to the online issues and the other addressing concerns of the land- based, live game, the World Poker Congress is expected to bring attendees from all sides of the biz to discuss the possibilities inherent within the entire spectrum of the online and offline poker world.
