Over the past two weeks the CalvinAyre.com crew and I went from Las Vegas to San Francisco and covered US-facing iGaming conferences iGaming North America and GiGse, respectively.

The proximity of the dates of these two events was a concern for some and if two weeks was too long to spend out of the office, they were forced to make a choice.  For us, the proximity was a convenience as it meant one long haul flight to the West Coast from London as opposed to two separate trips, so there were certainly some pros and cons with the timing.

Next year the organizers have put some space between the two conferences with iGaming North America scheduled for April 5-7 in Las Vegas and GiGse scheduled for April 27-29 in San Francisco, so enough time to go back and forth and back and forth again for everyone.

After attending these two conferences back to back I think its safe to say they both served different purposes and the overlap was not extreme.  However, regardless of the different speakers, attendees and conference session structures, both events did inspire conversation touching on the same core hot topics in the US market.
