Globally known as the main event for the
I-gaming industry, this year's theme of "No Limits" hits on the industry's
vast potential for growth and acceptance.
River City Group has also begun an event weblog (or blog) for GIGSE 2006 ,
ludicrously named BLOGSE.

, The eighth annual Global
Interactive Gaming Summit + Expo (GIGSE) will descend upon Montreal and the
Palais des Congres May 16-18, 2006. I think this will be the largest I-gaming trade
show in the 10 year history of this industry so both the conference segments
and the show floor should be quite exciting. With the show a month earlier than last year , exhibitors and
sponsors are literally lining up to secure their exposure at the most
important I-gaming event of the year.

The show will wrap up with the third annual GIGSE Charity Event, with
Gordon House, the provider of both the GamAid and GamStop programs based in
the United Kingdom, selected as the recipient of the generous donations to the
Silent Auction and all donations associated with the Charity Event, as yet to
be determined. Hoping to capitalize on the sagacious and clever
wit of the RCG staff, BLOGSE is intended to deliver news and information about
GIGSE in a more informal and hopefully comical way.

The exhibit hall will be open from 11:30a to 6:30p on Wednesday, May 17 and
