This fall, the annual National Championship of Poker at Hollywood Par has an added special event. During October 20 and 21, Hollywood Park Casino will be hosting the first Annual California Poker Players Conference. This event will feature fabulous speakers who will help players “gain positive expectation,” which is the main theme of the conference.

The keynote speaker for the conference will be Mike Caro. He will also be joined by Poker Hall of Fame inductee Barbara Enright, Susie Isaacs, Lou Krieger, Marsha Waggoner, Robert Turner, Stan Sludikoff, Charlie Shoten, Russell C. Fox, Tony Guerrera, and George "The Engineer" Epstein. Workshop topics at the conference will cover issues such as "maniacs, calling stations, and rocks" to the latest poker-related tax laws.

Phyllis Caro, Director of Poker Operations at the Hollywood Park Casino had this to say about the conference, "attendees will gain more solid information about winning poker during this two-day conference than they could ever hope for."

Attendees will also get a chance to hear John A. Pappas, who is the Executive Director of the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) will also be at the conference to discuss the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and its potential impact on all forms and venues for playing poker. Jeffrey Pollack, Commissioner of the World Series of Poker, will also be there to give patrons a preview of the 2008 World Series of Poker.
