Panel Discussion: Moving the Needle Now; Maximizing Short-Term Results
Panel Discussion: Moving the Needle Now; Maximizing Short-Term Results
We can’t control jackpot rolls and economic trends. So, what are the levers we can control? Let’s talk rubber-hits-road issues (like promotional, marketing, sales and distribution and game development strategies) that make a difference to sales right now. How might Lottery’s efforts and resources be channeled for maximum impact and ROI, producing optimal outcomes/results, and driving sales today and this quarter? How do macro-economic and consumer-spending trends affect lottery player-ship? How do inflation, higher gasoline prices, or economic hardship in general affect lottery spend?

Panel Discussion: Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
"Digital Lottery" (Players Clubs, Loyalty Programs, Second-Chance programs, digital apps and digital strategies) provides the tools that engage the players in the ongoing interactive relationship that moves us from mass-market-segmentation to micro-targeting to forging the one-to-one relationship that is the future of consumer-facing businesses. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is the framework that focuses those efforts onto the consumer – not just integrating but harmonizing the variety of "Digital Lottery" initiatives and tools into a holistic/synergistic strategy. The next generation discussion revolves less around “channels, media, and platforms” and more around the customer, as CRM moves us from the product-driven world of the past to the customer-driven world of the future.

Panel Discussion: iLottery – If We Knew Then What We Know Now
Panel Discussion: iLottery – If We Knew Then What We Know Now
The very first U.S. lottery to sell a game online was Minnesota back in 2010. Since then, and the implementation of twenty more ilotteries, what have proven out to be the relevant insights, advancements, and keys to success? How have our ideas changed over that time – i.e. what might we have done differently if we had a do-over? What are some current assumptions or methods of operations that we can expect to change in the coming years? How do online casinos and sports betting influence the online players’ journey and otherwise affect the iLottery sector? How many states will be offering lottery products online two years from now?
