Online Gambling Insider Steps Down at Clarion Gaming

One of the foremost online gaming publication and events specialist, Clarion Gaming, is moving things around in its U.S. branch. Several management positions, including that of longtime CEO, Sue Schneider, are being filled with new faces following the sale of River City Group to Clarion Events two years ago.

Schneider, who contractually agreed to step down from her post, will stick around to advise Clarion as needed, and will likely continue to remain a popular face and name in the online gambling industry. Schneider's replacement will be Peter Rusbridge, who said that several new changes will be taking place at the company's headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri.

With operations now firmly planted in London, Asia and America, Clarion Gaming will no doubt continue to expand its publication and event services for the worldwide gaming industry, including new features in the Digital Publications department - now being headed by Mark Balestra. iGaming News, Internet Gambling Report (print) and Gaming Industry Media will soon be offering more features to their online subscriptions, in addition to new publication titles altogether.

Other internal staff changes include the appointment of another staff writer, Jeanette Kozlowski, who will be joining the well versed Emily Swoboda, the appointment of Chris Krafcik as Chief Editor of iGamingNews, the appointment of Holly Rauch to the sales team for Clarion's digital publications division, the promotion of Dawn Kirkwood as Head of Conferences for the America's (along with Marketing Coordinator Karen Thompson and Operations Coordinator Dan Fitzgerald), and the appointment of Nancy Krause as Head of Sales for Clarion Gaming Events (joined by Tony Boschert).

To say that Clarion Gaming is moving things around would be an understatement. The new appointments only make sense considering how far reaching their operations are. In addition to the aforementioned online and print publications, Clarion Gaming hosts some of the largest exhibitions and conferences in the gaming industry, including the International Casino Exhibition (ICE) in London, World Poker Congress an iGaming In-Depth.
