Steve Lipscomb, president of the World Poker Tour, will deliver a keynote speech at a WPT event, scheduled for June 27 - 28, 2006 at the City Conference Center in Stockholm, Sweden. "Steve Lipscomb had the vision and foresight to create the World Poker Tour, one of the important events that launched the current poker boom," says Sue Schneider, president of River City Group. Lipscomb will also discuss other contributing factors to the poker boom, such as online poker and its influence on real world poker. An award-winning producer/director of television and film, Lipscomb has directed the remarkable growth of the WPT, including the 2005 launch of the Professional Players Tour (PPT), an international expansion of the WPT. "The World Poker Congress will be the premier conference for the business of poker globally," says Paul Dworin, publisher of Global Gaming Business and PokerBIZ magazines. He also says "there is clearly a synergy between online poker rooms and real world poker and the WPC will examine how to capitalize on the growth of the game no matter which side of the equation your business operates."
