Elevating Leaders in the Gaming Industry
EDP 2025
The Executive Development Program (EDP) is the first and only program of its kind: an 8-day best-in-class professional development opportunity for the industry’s future C-suite executives.
EDP attracts a diverse and dynamic group of participants. Now in its 35th year of offering an exceptional educational experience, the program has graduated more than 1,750 executives from gaming companies and regulatory agencies from throughout the world.
Join us November 8 – 16, 2025, for this 8-day industry boot camp. You'll learn from the world's most influential gaming-hospitality executives and apply your newfound knowledge to a case-study analysis of the global gaming industry.
As a participant of the Executive Development Program you will be among the pacesetters in the gaming industry—leaders from around the world who grapple with important strategic issues common to casino gaming.
You will establish lasting professional relationships that will be valuable to you and critical to your organization well into the 21st century.
Founded in 1990 by Dr. Bill Eadington, the pioneer of commercial gaming studies, EDP preserves his legacy by encouraging future leaders of the global gaming industry to think strategically about emerging industry issues. In partnership with our colleagues at the University of Nevada, Reno College of Business and Extended studies, EDP combines classroom learning from the world’s top executives and academics with hands-on application to create lifelong connections and offer valuable insights into an ever-changing industry.
