The International Gaming Conference & Expo (IGCE), slated for November 5-7 at the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, will feature an unprecedented line-up of legal experts discussing the current state of the interactive gaming industry both in the U.S. and internationally. A standing room only audience is expected in the wake of recent arrests by U.S. authorities of high-ranking gaming executives.

"The recent arrests of Sportingbet Chairman Peter Dicks and Betonsports CEO David Carruthers have thrown the interactive gaming industry into a state of panic," said Christopher Dauer, Director of Conferences for The Sports Network, developer of the IGCE. "This conference will feature the top legal minds in the industry in one venue to discuss what has taking place and what they anticipate will occur next to both the detriment and continuance of the industry and those involved with it from public companies to the ones that serve them in the areas of technology, marketing, financing, payment solutions and more. Some of the answers will surprise those in attendance."

Legal experts scheduled to speak include Tony Coles, partner with Jeffrey Green Russell; Peter Wilson, partner with Tarlo Lyons; Joseph Kelly, Esq., Professor of Business Law at SUNY College at Buffalo; Mark Mendel, partner at Mendel Blumenfeld; Stephen Philippsohn, partner with Philippsohn Crawfords Berwald, and others from New York to Malta.
