Indian Gaming Association, the intertribal national coalition, will host its 2022 Mid-Year Conference Nov. 14-16 at the We-Po-Ka Casino in Fort McDowell, Arizona.
“We are thrilled to regroup at the Mid-Year Conference quickly after the election to ensure we are well positioned to protect tribal sovereignty with the forthcoming new Congress, local and state elected officials,” said Indian Gaming Association Chairman Ernie Stevens, Jr., in a statement. “This gathering will give us an opportunity to discuss the outcomes in California’s ballot measure on online sports betting, the first year of sports betting in Arizona, and current federal politics and policies impacting Indian Country.”
The Mid-Year Conference starts with a golf tournament Nov. 14 at the We-Po-Ka Golf Club’s Saguaro Course hosted by PGA star John Daly.
The conference will include featured panels and education sessions including:
- Remembering the Fort McDowell Casino Raid, a recap of an incident about “the tribe that fought the feds and won.”
- Arizona Sports Betting: One Year Later, a look at the sports wagering in the state since it was legalized in 2021.
- What’s Next for Sports Betting in California, a closer look into the outcomes of California propositions 26 & 27.
