Eldorado Sponsors Workshops For 23rd Year

The Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno, for the 23 years the site of the Western National RPM Promoters Workshop, has agreed to continue as a sponsor of the Thirty-Fifth Annual RPM Promoters Workshops Series. The Eldorado (eldoradoreno.com) is Reno’s most exclusive destination with 816 rooms and suites, nine tempting restaurants, 81,000-square-foot casino and unparalleled service. Reno’s hottest showroom features 580-seats and dazzling entertainment. Other amenities include a microbrewery; exclusive retail shops and Reno’s hottest nightclub-the BuBinga Lounge.

"Gathering promoters each Winter in Reno has become a tradition, and we consider it a privilege to host the owners and promoters of Canadian and American short tracks," said Rick Murdock, director of casino marketing for the Eldorado. I remember laying plans for the first meeting here 23 years ago. Since then, the Eldorado has made many friends and we look forward to seeing them every year."

"We are pleased to continue our association with the Carano Family at the Eldorado," said Stewart Doty, chairman of the annual conventions for auto racing promoters. "The Reno Workshops have outdrawn the Speedweek events for most of this decade, underlining the Eldorado's excellent service. The December Workshop is increasingly popular with promoters because it gives them additional time to plan and implement promotions for the new season."

The Thirty-Fifth Workshops, subtitled "Growing the Grassroots, Selling Your Tickets," will features nineteen sessions over three days combined with generous networking time, and a 50-company trade show. Promoters wishing to register for the Workshop may still do so by returning the registration application published in Racing Promotion Monthly, or may contact RPM for a credential application.
