Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention 2027

Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention runs April 19–22, 2027 at Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas.

What it is

The Indian Gaming Association produces this four-day event with Clarion Events. The organizer calls it the largest gathering of tribal leaders and casino executives in the country. It works as both a business meeting and a cultural celebration of tribal success and self-reliance.

Exhibitors in the hall cover Indian gaming, iGaming, culture and art, hospitality, sports betting and related products and services. Networking events include the Chairman's Welcome Reception, the Chairman's Leadership Awards Luncheon and golf outings.

The schedule is staggered

Not everything runs all four days:

• Education: April 19–22
• Arts & Crafts: April 20–22
• Exhibit hall: April 21 (10:00 AM – 5:00 PM) and April 22 (10:00 AM – 3:00 PM, a shorter last day)
• DigitalPlay Summit: April 21–22. It has iGaming and sports betting exhibits and sessions, held on the tradeshow floor.

If you only need the floor, plan around the last two days.

Education and certification

The education program has tracks in casino and gaming operations, interactive wagering, regulatory and compliance, marketing and player development, technology and innovation, economic development, legal and tribal sovereignty, and security and surveillance. The Association's Seminar Institute also runs Commissioner Certification Training onsite.

It requires registering for either the Level III or the Master Series class. Earlier training levels are prerequisites, and you must attend all three days to receive a certificate of completion.

Future dates

The show moves between cities. The organizer lists April 10–13, 2028 at the San Diego Convention Center.
