This intensive 8-day professional development programme, now in its 35th year, is tailored for future C-suite executives in the gaming industry.
With over three decades of excellence and more than 1,600 alumni worldwide, the EDP focuses on developing leadership, management, and strategic thinking skills. It emphasises strategic issues in casino gaming while providing global networking opportunities, offering participants a unique chance to establish lasting professional relationships with industry peers.
Now in its 7th year, this ECA initiative continues to champion diversity in the European casino industry, offering fully funded participation in the prestigious 8-day EDP at Lake Tahoe, USA.

The ECA firmly believes that a diverse and inclusive environment enhances employee engagement and satisfaction. The company offered a big thank you to their partners Clarion, AGEM, and the Universities of Las Vegas and Reno.
