Welcome from WLA and Golden Casket

Dear friends and lottery colleagues,

Welcome to the official website for the WLA 2010 Convention and Trade Show, which will be held in Brisbane, Australia, from 31 October to 5 November this year.

WLA 2010 will deliver a quality business program, comprehensive trade show and a range of networking and social events that will allow you to reacquaint yourself with existing lottery friends and colleagues and make new contacts within the lottery network.

During the business program, expert and industry leading guest speakers will impart the knowledge you need to meet current industry challenges and plan for a prosperous future, while the trade show will expose you to the latest developments in lottery-related products and services. The Convention will also include the WLA General Biennial Meeting and Regional Association Meetings.

Your host city of Brisbane is a modern, dynamic and sophisticated city that revels in its relaxed outdoor lifestyle. With low on-ground costs, easy access to beautiful natural attractions and an enviable 300 plus days of sunshine each year, a visit to Brisbane will provide you with the trip of a lifetime.

WLA 2010 will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC), a purpose-built, world class convention facility located in the resort-style, riverside precinct of South Bank – a short five minute walk from the heart of Brisbane City. The venue offers superb flexibility and versatility, allowing the entire program for WLA 2010 to be conveniently and comfortably accommodated under one roof.

The theme for WLA 2010 is ’a bright future’ in acknowledgement of the bright future that lies ahead for the lottery industry and the bright features of Brisbane and host lottery, Golden Casket.

We hope you enjoy exploring this website and look forward to seeing you ‘Down Under’ later this year.

Warm wishes,

Arch Gleason WLA President	Bill Thorburn Chief Executive, Tatts Lotteries
