American Gaming Association (AGA)

The American Gaming Association (AGA) is the national association for the gaming industry in the United States. In 1994, the organization was formed to promote, educate, and lobby on behalf of the gaming entertainment industry. AGA’s headquarters are located in Washington, DC. As a member organization, the AGA represents its members, their employees and customers in matters concerning federal legislation and regulatory issues, such as taxation, regulations, and travel. In addition to serving as an information clearinghouse for the gaming industry, it also provides timely, accurate gaming industry data to the public, the media, and decision makers. Major casino operators, financial services companies, gaming product suppliers, and state and regional gaming associations are members of the AGA.

Global Gaming Expo is a major gaming trade show sponsored every year by the AGA. From the AGA’s inception until mid-2013, Frank Fahrenkopf served as its president. In April 2013, the AGA board chose Geoff Freeman, head of the US Travel Association, to replace Fahrenkopf.The Grocery Manufacturers Association will recruit Freeman to become their president and CEO in late July 2018. Freeman’s permanent replacement will be Bill Miller, a senior vice-president of Business Roundtable lobby group. He will take office as of January 14, 2019.

The AGA represents commercial and tribal casino operators, gaming suppliers, industry vendors, state associations, and media in the US gaming industry and serves as the most effective advocate.
