On the heels of the release of The Innovation Group’s illegal gambling research for the American Gaming Association (AGA), Brian Wyman – our lead partner on that work – will attend the Winter Meeting of the National Conference of State Gaming Legislators (NCLGS) where the topic is set to be covered. Connect with him there Friday around AGA CEO Bill Miller’s keynote address or throughout the event.

Last month, The Innovation Group (TIG) announced the appointment of Chris Irwin as a senior vice president and partner at the firm. Since joining TIG in 2013, Irwin’s work increasingly has focused on the Native American sector, where he now serves as business lead.

Over the course of his career, Irwin has worked diligently with Tribes and First Nations across the U.S. and Canada. As Senior Vice President of Native American Services, Irwin continues to direct core tribal project work for the firm, including market analyses, financial forecasts, economic impact studies, and diversification strategies, while also expanding TIG’s services to address the evolving needs of Native American enterprises.
