One of the most unique and exciting aspects of working in gaming is our industry’s commitment to workplace diversity and equal opportunities for the professional advancement of all people regardless of ethnicity, gender, religious affiliation, or sexual preference.
At its core, the gaming industry defines a pioneering drive to promote workplace equality, including the inalienable rights of employees to express their unique personal, moral, and social choices. Likewise, women are quickly becoming a powerful symbol reflecting our industry’s groundbreaking workplace diversity and unprecedented professionalism.
Please join Casino Enterprise Management magazine Feb. 11-13, as we host the Great Women of Gaming Conference, Awards Ceremony, and Gala at Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa, and Casino, in Las Vegas, Nev.
This unique inaugural event promises to honor female gaming industry professionals at or above directorship level, who show unwavering commitment to an ever-changing and exciting future as we take gaming to a whole new success level.
