Kind words from our customers

 

  • Ampersand was a unique opportunity to meet, talk and learn from people across the industry and its open and interactive format fostered genuine debate and discussion.
    Keir Hutton Ferris
    Kindred Group
  • My colleagues and I found Ampersand to be informative, thought provoking, and extremely beneficial, as it homogenized global expertise and frustrations, and therefore reset the "bar of understanding" between land-based casino operators and the mission of the platform providers.
    Fred Buro
    CEO, Pala Casino
  • I got more out of the Ampersand Assembly than the rest of the G2E conference combined.
    Justin McCool
    Native Gaming
  • Thank you and Clarion for a fascinating, immersive, and thoughtful experience. Ampersand is definitely the best way to start off G2E week! I'd also say that, on behalf of the WA State Gambling Commission, I have found the Ampersand assemblies to be challenging, informative, and a great way to work with others in the gaming industry we might not normally get the chance to meet. Ampersand is also a great opportunity to remind ourselves of how vast the scope of the gaming industry and how challenging but exciting it is to make good, positive changes in our world. Keep up the great work!

  • A free flowing and provocative unconference which frames the key issues prior to ICE.

  • I've been to all the conferences. I have spoken on panels, moderated panels, wandered the floors, attending the networking, but Ampersand is close, unique and valuable. It really gives valuable discussions, 1-on-1 with decision making executives. I'm definitely in the next one.

  • A really original approach to networking and to thinking about our industry. A refreshing change from same old same old conferences.

  • Ampersand assemblies are a refreshing and innovative way of discussing most current issues as well as new developments in the gaming industry. The format is conducive to open, honest and thought provoking discussion. I look forward to future assemblies.

  • A fresh and innovative way to discuss the core areas of a business/industry, but one that also ensures there are useful outcomes as a result of the process.

  • A creative format that empowers out-of-the box thinking and gives all participants an opportunity to be heard. It was informative, engaging, and fun. Great way to network too.
