Budapest to host this years’ World Poker Congress

In just a few short weeks the global poker community will see the World Poker Congress convene in Budapest, Hungary. On October 29th and 30th poker companies will be meeting at the Marriott Hotel in the historic European city of Budapest.

The idea of this event is to bring together the online poker business world with the live world of poker, to discuss the similarities and differences between the two. Clarion Gaming, organizers of the event say this conference is a necessity if we are to see poker continue to flourish as a worldwide sport.

The WPC is targeted primarily at the decision makers in the world of poker. Organizers expect to see at least 150 attendants who represent more than 80 land based and online poker companies. Previous conferences have wound up with an informative panel discussion with experienced international poker players which usually generates very useful exchanges of views and suggestions.

This year the founder and head of World Poker Tour Enterprises, Steve Lipscomb, will
again give the keynote speech, together with Bwin’s Head of Poker, Hendrick Knopp,
giving a good balance between live and online poker interest.
