Continuing with the theme of innovation at the 2015 Global Symposium on Racing & Gaming, the Race Track Industry Program will kick off the event on Tuesday morning, December 8, with a session titled 45 Ideas in 45 Minutes.

Five panelists will present nine ideas each and have no more than one minute to present each one. The rapid fire format of this session makes for a fast and interesting exchange of great new ideas. A synopsis of all the ideas presented will be distributed at the conclusion of the session.

The panelists, who are diverse in their expertise and bring a variety of viewpoints to the table, include:

• Steve Byk - Host, Thoroughbred Racing Network

• Darryl Kaplan - Editor, Trot Magazine

• Steve Koch - Executive Director, NTRA Safety and Integrity Alliance

• Peter Rotondo - Vice President Media & Entertainment, Breeders’ Cup Limited

• Amy Zimmerman - Vice President, Director of Broadcasting, Stronach Group

The 42nd Annual Global Symposium on Racing & Gaming will be held at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona from December 7-9, 2015.
