Addy and the Melissa Team exhibited for the first time at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention (IGA) from April 10-11. Located in the Anaheim Convention Center, the IGA24 expo was the hot spot for gaming industry professionals to gain strategy and insight into the gaming and casino landscape. We had a great time connecting with tribal gaming communities and leading industry professionals, including our Esri partner!
