Join us for the only conference dedicated to tribal casino marketing:

This long-running, signature conference is specifically designed for tribal gaming executives. Hundreds of casinos have sent their marketing teams, GMs and tribal decision makers for courses in casino marketing strategies that work for tribal casinos.

The conference, a staple for tribal casinos throughout the U.S. and Canada, encompasses two and a half days of relevant presentations, hands-on workshops, signature networking events and tradeshow. Email Christine Faria, Raving's VP of Ops & Communications, or give her a holler at 775-329-7864 if you have any questions.

A unique learning experience pertinent to tribal casinos today:

The topics are personally developed by our team who works with our tribal gaming clients out in the field – to make sure we’re hitting the subjects that are pertinent to you, today, on your gaming floor. And we know that "Marketing" encompasses a lot more than it did just a few years ago. That's why we cover everything from technology, electronic marketing, database and player tracking to sales skills, player development, direct marketing and promotions. If you are ready to take your career, your team and your casino to the next level, then register today.

Check out the 2013 brochure. Each year, our goal is to take your knowledge to the next level and bring value to your tribal casino.

Just don't take our word for it:

"Most organized and personal conference I’ve been to in years! Presenters and topics were phenomenal. Presenters were approachable and they stayed for each other’s sessions and didn’t swoop away."

"Your people are great and full of knowledge."

"Enjoyed all the opportunities to network from sessions designed for it to break times."

"It was a great conference. A great perspective on Native American marketing."

"I felt really inspired. All of the presenters were excellent."

"Nicole Barker knows her stuff and she presents it brilliantly."

"Dennis Conrad is always inspiring!"

"No matter how many times I hear Steve Browne's stories, he never fails to bring a tear to my eyes. He is awesome!"

Why a tribal gaming executive should attend this conference:

Whether you're a seasoned general manager or a fresh-faced newbie to tribal casino marketing, this is the one conference you won't want to miss. Learn from the very best marketing folks who have thrived in Indian Country. Connect with your peers and learn what challenges you share and how to overcome them. Discover new ideas that your competitors haven't thought of!

This two and a half day conference is comprised of general sessions and intimate small group workshops. Plus on-floor assignments and networking events. If you haven't been to this conference before, then you haven't experienced learning the Raving way. We believe in three core concepts: if you are going to learn, might as well have fun doing it; the learning from each other is invaluable; and we'll provide the very best speakers and the best topics - you just have to show up ready to learn.

Signature Events, Tradeshow, Networking and More ...

-The Barona/VCAT Award for Excellence In Indian Gaming Marketing celebrates the best tribal marketing team and it is the only national competition of its kind for tribal gaming. At the 2013 ceremony we honored Cache Creek Casio Resort - read the press release here. Is your casino next? We celebrate “big” with the selected casino and all attendees at a VIP luncheon at the event. Stay tuned for 2014 submissions.

-Our host property treats our attendees as special guests. They let us out in their casino for an on-floor assignment after the Welcome Reception. They also do a special, attendee-only Back of the House Tour.

-Your learning experience comes from several sources – we’ve got presenters who have walked in your shoes and they are available before, during and after sessions. We’ve got a room full of gaming vendors who can really make a difference to your tribal casino. You’ll learn from your fellow attendees at our always popular speed networking session, and at our infamous “wrap-it up, let’s meet again, who knows what they've cooked up” Insider Party on the last night of the conference.

-Tired of being a bridesmaid? SCA Gaming will again be supporting the conference with handfuls of cash in a special networking break where attendees got a chance to participate in a casino promotion.
