The State of Player Development & Hosting Septebmer 16, 2026 at 11AM PT/1PM CT/2PM ET Description: The days of old-Vegas hosting, where your host could get you anything at any time for any reason have evolved to technology and data-driven decisions in corporate organizations across the US. In a world where EBITDA matters in the people business of casino-gaming, our player development leaders are looking to technology to empower casino hosts to deliver on that hosted casino player experience and recreate the player-driven hospitality that casino players remember. AI is adding an entirely new layer of technology to the hosted player experience and the opportunities to deliver even more to players is just beginning. In our webinar, we’ll remember how player development was in an analog world and talk about the challenges that exist in today’s more corporate, regulated environments in giving players what they want, when they want it. Join legends Todd Simons, SVP of Casino Operations for Rio Hotel & Casino Las Vegas; Michelle Reda, Principle Consultant & Executive Director; Aaron Harn, VP of Strategy, Marketing & Player Development at Wild Rose Entertainment; and Jonathan Eaton, CEO of Synergy Information Solutions as we get a little old school and new school with player development.
