World Poker Congress to Examine Online and Real-Life Issues in ...

The poker industry will be examined in an entirely different way at the World Poker Congress (WPC) to be held in Stockholm on June 26 and 27. With experts from the Internet poker world and real-life poker rooms, the WPC will, for the first time, look into issues that affect them jointly.

Casino poker room managers will describe the huge growth of their business due to players who learned the game online. And the Internet poker rooms are aware that their non-intimidating style allows players to learn the game away from the pressures of the live game, but with an eye to competing at the highest levels.

At the WPC, attendees will get the chance to learn from the other side, how to take advantage of the opportunities and how to develop relationships with their counterparts that will yield benefits for each.

The program at WPC contains two tracks: "Live" and "Online." Each track will focus on issues of importance to their specific segment. At critical times during the conference, the two sides will convene at plenary sessions, with addresses by poker notables, including World Series of Poker Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack and World Poker Tour President Steve Lipscomb.
