continent on the planet. They will represent the best from gaming organizations
around the world, with attendees present from up to 75 countries.
World
Meet ’07 will enable you to literally tap into a world of wisdom on how to
manage a successful lottery organization. Find out what lotteries from the
other side of the planet are doing that could work right in your own backyard.
Keynote speakers and break-out sessions will enlighten you to ways your lottery
could be more successful.
This year’s trade show will also be a unique
experience - large enough to represent the entire lottery industry, yet
intimate enough for exhibitors to have access to all attendees. Imagine the
potential of the Trade Show that brings together lottery sector decision-makers
from all over the world.
Our team at the Kentucky Lottery is well into
planning this tremendous event, and I promise it will be a program from which
you’ll walk away with new ideas and concepts on how to make your
organization stronger.

World Lottery Forum
Status
BASEL, Switzerland (October 24, 2005) -- Hurricane
Wilma has caused extensive damage to the Cancún area, with lives lost
and thousands homeless. The WLA leadership hopes the suffering of those
affected can be minimized, but realizes that the current situation is extremely
serious.
WLA personnel involved in the World Lottery Forum are currently on
site assessing both the condition of the venues and the status of the local
infrastructure. Based on these reports, as well as guidance from the Mexican
government and the Cancún municipality, the
Mexican National Lottery and the WLA
leadership will make a determination regarding the World Lottery Forum within
the next two days.
Based on the information currently available, it looks
likely that the 2005 World Lottery Forum cannot take place as planned. In this
case, it is likely that the event will have to be cancelled entirely or
postponed until early 2006. A further announcement will be released as soon as
a decision is made.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this situation
may cause for our members, associate members, speakers and organizers,"
said WLA President Reidar Nordby, Jr., "but we are sure that they share our
thoughts for the victims in this disaster. We will make all our efforts to
organize a world-class congress when life returns to normal."
