In fact, the total number of registrations reached almost 1,800 when combined with those for **ESI New York** - also held for the first time - whose delegates enjoyed shared access to the main conference’s welcome party at Jay Z’s **40/40 Club** in Manhattan. The post event survey which produced this 97.7% seal of approval also found special praise for the trio of top-class party venues across both New Jersey (**Meadowlands Racetrack**) and New York (40/40 Club and the **Sky Room**). The Manhattan Sky Room served as the perfect host for the event's closing party, featuring a ceremony in which former Governor of New Jersey **Chris Christie**, VP Race & Sports Operations of Station Casinos **Art Manteris** and CEO of Monmouth Park **Dennis Drazin** were inducted into the **Sports Betting Hall of Fame** for their contributions to the sports betting industry. Meanwhile, conference highlights singled out included keynote speeches by New Jersey Governor **Phil Murphy** and **Morten Andersen**, who holds the all-time record for most games played in the NFL, as well as the investor-focused ‘Betting on Regulation’ track session featuring MLB National League MVP **Ryan Howard** and Philadelphia Eagles Hall running back **Brian Westbrook**. **Richard Seymour**, a member of three Super Bowl-winning New England Patriots teams, attended the event as an investment partner for Bet.Works. Meanwhile, Andersen backed up his speech with a ‘meet and greet’, while **Raymond Lesniak** - a driving force behind the legal challenge to PASPA - combined an appearance on the 'Show me the money - payments vs the Wire Act' session by signing copies of his new book, ‘Beating the odds: The Epic Battle That Brought Legal Sports Betting Across America’. Feedback as part of the survey is already being used to improve future conferences, starting with this year’s biggest ever **Betting on Sports** conference, which returns to Olympia London from 17-20 September. Meanwhile, the second Betting on Sports America - once again based at the **Meadowlands Exposition Center** in New Jersey - has been confirmed for 28-30 April, 2020. ###### Events - [Malta Operator Forum 2019](https://sbcevents.com/malta-operator-forum/) - [Malta Baby 2019](https://sbcevents.com/malta-baby/) - [SBC Awards 2019](https://sbcevents.com/sbc-awards/) - [London Baby 2020](https://sbcevents.com/london-baby/) - [CasinoBeats Malta 2020](https://sbcevents.com/casinobeats-malta/) - [Betting on Sports America 2020](https://sbcevents.com/betting-on-sports-america/) - [Betting on Sports Europe 2020](https://sbcevents.com/betting-on-sports-europe/) - [SBC Summit 2020](https://sbcevents.com/sbc-summit/)   [View All](https://sbcevents.com/) Meet Brian Westbrook, Ryan Howard and Morten Andersen at Betting on Sports America 22 Apr | Betting on Sports America | Martin Hodges Visitors to Betting on Sports America will be able to meet with sporting royalty this week and take home a memento of..
