GLOBAL SYMPOSIUM ON RACING, DEC. 4-7, 1 2017 Yesterday during the awards presentations, there was one that we had to delay. It’s a really important award to us and especially to our students. Every year, Xpressbet awards a scholarship to a race track industry program student. It’s not just a small scholarship; it’s a $5,000 scholarship. It’s certainly something that we like to introduce you to the student and also to the sponsor. Today, we have our representative from Xpressbet, Gene Chabrier, vice- president of regulatory affairs and business development, to hand over the wonderful scholarship check to our student, Abel Zander, who wasn’t able to make it yesterday because he wasn’t allowed to miss a class. If you have a student who’ll turn down taking a $5,000 check to miss a class, you know he’s a great student.

  • International Simulcasting – a “How To” Primer to Better Position Your Product for International Customers
    37th ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON RACING & GAMING TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2010 International Simulcasting – A “How To” Primer to Better Position Your Product for International Customers MODERATOR: David Llewellyn, President, Australian Racing SPEAKERS: Phil Adams, Business Development Manager, Phumelela Gold Enterprises Andrew Brown, CEO, New Zealand Racing Board Ines Hendili, International Project Manager, PMU Matthew Imi, CEO, At The Races Brendan Parnell, COO, Sky Racing Kim Heng Teo, VP Sales and Business Development, Singapore Turf Club Mr. Doug Reed: It’s international simulcasting. We don’t want to get off schedule too much since this is also being simulcast. Kind of on that note I’ll start just to let you all know in the room we are trying something new ourselves here. It’s a webinar of this session and another session tomorrow so appropriately we take international simulcasting international through the web and if you have your little devices, hopefully you have your cell phones on vibrate but go ahead and text your friends if you want them to join us. It’s a mere $25.00 as an experiment here and the students get all the money in the form of scholarships so I don’t think the price should be a barrier to entry. It’s cheaper than simulcasting even. If you have a friend at home or someone at your organization you think could benefit that couldn’t afford to be here, give them a quick text. You can still sign up to participate in this webinar. I first would like to also mention while we’re talking about the webinar we’d like to thank our sponsor, Roberts Communication Network for sponsoring this webinar.
