World Game Protection Conference

What World Game Protection Conference does

World Game Protection Conference (WGPC) is an annual B2B conference and exhibition focused exclusively on casino game protection, asset protection, and people protection. Operated by privately held World Game Protection, Inc. (founded 2005 by Willy Allison in Las Vegas, Nevada), the event debuted in February 2006 and has run continuously for 20 years as the only dedicated annual gathering for the casino surveillance community. The 3-day event sells tiered delegate registrations ($1,195 individual / $995 group of 4+ / $495 expo-only) and exhibitor booth space, with attendance restricted to casino employees and gaming regulatory agencies.

The core product offering is the WGPC annual event itself, paired with the WGPC EXPO (a 2-day exhibition of surveillance and security technology vendors), Core Training Programs (intensive 3-hour seminars covering table games protection, electronic games protection, OSINT investigations, crisis leadership, and casino cybersecurity), and The Monitor Room (a free weekly e-newsletter). The company's GTM is purely event-driven: it sells directly through its website to casino surveillance professionals, gaming regulators, gaming managers, and surveillance technology vendors, and relies on industry word-of-mouth and The Monitor Room newsletter for top-of-funnel demand generation.

Revenue is generated through two streams: delegate conference registration fees and exhibitor/sponsorship revenue from surveillance technology manufacturers and security vendors. The exhibitor ecosystem includes major names such as Dallmeier, NAV, Genetec, Motorola Solutions, Milestone Systems, and Hanwha Vision, alongside AI-driven surveillance startups including EagleSight, Aeyesky, and Eulerion Technologies. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity; founder Willy Allison remains the sole visible executive. No app, software platform, or proprietary technology product is offered — WGPC is a pure-play events business.
