The Innovation Group of Companies and Global Gaming Business Magazine Announce Groundbreaking Conference, RD&E: Retail, Dining and Entertainment in the Gaming and Hospitality Industry
(firmenpresse) - LAS VEGAS, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/12 -- The Innovation Group of Companies and Global Gaming Business Magazine today announce a groundbreaking conference, RD&E: Retail, Dining and Entertainment in the Gaming and Hospitality Industry. The conference will be held May 15-16 at Revel in Atlantic City, the new Boardwalk casino built to take advantage of all the non-gaming amenities today.
RD&E: Retail, Dining and Entertainment in the Gaming and Hospitality Industry is the first and only conference dedicated to non-gaming amenities and the revenue they produce. On the Las Vegas Strip today, almost 75 percent of the revenue comes from non-gaming sources. With the recent slump in gaming revenues and increased competition around the world, non-gaming revenues can be the salvation of many casino resort properties.
"Casino resorts must take advantage of every revenue opportunity," says Steve Rittvo, chairman of The Innovation Group of Companies. "RD&E will give casino executives, officials in gaming jurisdictions and suppliers to the resort industry a roadmap of how to incorporate non-gaming amenities in a way that creates synergy between all departments."
RD&E will cover the food and beverage experience, unique retail strategies and diverse entertainment options -- ranging from nightclubs and performance venues to golf tournaments and special events -- available to the casino and resort industry today. The conference will also examine the meetings and convention business, along with how non-gaming amenities can increase tourism to any region. Expert speakers from each discipline will demonstrate how to identify customers, how to reward them for their non-gaming spend, and how to brand a property or destination as more than just gaming.
"The gaming industry has always been hospitality based," said Roger Gros, the publisher of Global Gaming Business magazine. "Until RD&E, however, every property had to find its own way. RD&E is an annual conference that emphasizes the importance of non-gaming revenues and explains how to get there."
RD&E will be held during the official grand opening of Revel, allowing attendees and sponsors access to all the excitement and ceremonies that will take place, as well as exclusive back-of-the-house tours of the property that will bring gaming to the next level, not only in Atlantic City but around the world.
When it opens this spring, Revel will be the only beachfront location in the Northeast for meetings, conferences and group travel. Featuring 160,000 square feet of flexible convention and meeting space, Revel is designed specifically to meet the needs of all business events, from networking to large-scale presentations and shows. The ratio of group space to rooms is the second largest on the East Coast, making the beachfront resort a place where it is as easy to conduct business as pleasure.
