Call for Speakers/Presentations

The 2026 NAGRA Conference Planning Committee and Board of Directors invite you to participate in the 2026 NAGRA Education and Training Conference, June 1- 4 at the Westin in Sarasota, Florida.  This year's conference will be an interactive gathering attracting regulators and others from federal, state, local, tribal and educational institutions as well as private organizations.

With information geared to both new and seasoned regulators, the conference is a great opportunity to share, connect, collaborate and learn about the latest industry trends. We encourage you to share your expertise, projects, stories or challenges in the regulatory space.

Taking a cue from Sarasota, the home of the Ringling Brothers Circus, the theme of this year’s conference is “Walking the Tightrope:  Balancing Innovation with Regulation.”  Products and offerings in the gaming industry are evolving at a rapid pace, requiring regulators to learn and understand the changing industry at an equally fast clip.  NAGRA seeks presentations related to emerging or complex issues related to:

• ·         iGaming
• ·         Casinos/Electronic Gaming
• ·         Sports Wagering
• ·         Safer/Responsible Gaming
• ·         Charitable Gaming
• ·         Investigations/Licensing
• ·         Tribal Gaming
• ·         Cyber Security
• ·         Compliance
• ·         Emerging Technologies

NAGRA also seeks presentations in related areas that will supply Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and Continued Legal Education (CLE) credit to attendees.

If your proposal is accepted, you will be asked to submit an outline of the proposed presentation no less than thirty (30) days prior to the conference.   A member of the NAGRA Conference Planning Committee will schedule a call prior to the conference to discuss the presentation with all individuals who plan to participate.   

Priority will be given to proposals that include (or will include at the time of the presentation) visual media (such as a power point) or written materials that will be distributed at the presentation.  A copy of these materials will be due three (3) days prior to the start of the conference.

Deadline for submission is January 22, 2026

NOTE: Accepted presenters will be expected to register for at least one day of the conference unless only attending to present.

If you plan to submit more than one, please create a separate submission for each.

NOTE:.  Depending on sponsorship level and availability on the conference agenda, some sponsors will have an opportunity to provide educational content, to be approved by the NAGRA Conference Planning Committee as part of the sponsorship package.
