Regulated Online Poker Track at iGNA 2014 to Feature Operator, Data, Media and Player Insights

Poker continues to command more attention at one of the premier conferences for the online gambling industry, iGaming North America (iGNA).

The 2014 edition of iGNA features an expanded Poker Track that brings together some of the most recognizable – and influential – names in regulated online poker.

iGNA 2014 takes place from March 19th through the 21st at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

The Poker Track (sponsored, somewhat appropriately, by PokerTracker.com) runs on March 20th (day 2 of iGNA) from 3:45 to 5:15 in Celebrity Ballroom 4.
