The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) is in Boston from July 20-23 for its annual conference, but the NCPG isn’t your standard industry conference.

The last time a team was on the brink of three straight Stanley Cups, the country was losing its mind over a Star Wars sequel, Tom Cruise had a Top-10 blockbuster, and rising interest rates whipsawed the economy into a recession.
