Susie Isaacs, Lou Krieger, Marsha Waggoner, Robert Turner, Stan Sludikoff, Charlie Shoten, Russell C. Fox, Tony Guerrera, and George "The Engineer" Epstein.

According to Phyllis Caro, Director of Poker Operations at the Hollywood Park Casino, "attendees will gain more solid information about winning poker during this two-day conference than they could ever hope for."

Attendees will also get a chance to hear John A. Pappas, recently named the Executive Director of the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) discuss the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and its potential impact on all forms and venues for playing poker.
