The River City Group is well known for hosting some of the best conventions in the online casino gaming industry. One of the latest events being organized by this well respected media publisher is the second annual World Poker Congress scheduled on November 29-30, 2007. The news is now out that, once again, the keynote address will be jointly given by World Series of Poker Commissioner, Jeffrey Pollack, and World Poker Tour President, Steve Lipscomb.

Two of the biggest names in the poker business, not to mention rival competitors, Lipscomb and Pollack are sure to offer great insight into the poker gaming industry - both online and offline. Although having their primary interests in the land-based poker community, both men apparently understand just how vital the role of online poker plays in the continued success and growth of their respected poker tournament circuits.

Taking place at the Westin Dragonara Resort in St. Julian's, Malta, the World Poker Congress seeks to develop the synergies between the online and land-based poker gambling industries. Some of the topics to be discussed at this year's congress include tournament management, new game introduction, technological advances, rake protocols and fraud detection/prevention. A must-attend event for online poker room operators, the second annual World Poker Congress will open the floor for discussion on how to build player bases, staging tournaments, marketing poker rooms and the particulars of online poker regulation in Europe.

Of course, the central theme throughout the World Poker Congress will be about the integration of the offline and online poker industries and how to continue expanding the global reach of both sectors. President of River City Group, Sue Schneider, said she is very excited to once again host the stage for Lipscomb and Pollack, whose presence will certainly result in a large turnout of the poker industry's movers and shakers.
