Organized by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and RX USA , G2E has established itself as a central hub for discussions, innovations, and networking within the regulated gaming industry.

Many discussions will focus on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and diversity in the workforce. These discussions will take place both in the Venetian Congress Center and in a dedicated space on the Expo floor called “The Lab,” which showcases innovations in iGaming.
For exhibitors, G2E offers a chance to display their latest products and solutions to a targeted audience.

A Comprehensive Show
For many, G2E is not just about the sessions or the Expo Hall. Networking remains a key reason for attending. The ability to meet with other industry professionals, make new connections, and strengthen business relationships is one of the driving forces behind the event. Whether it’s reconnecting with colleagues or meeting new contacts, the networking opportunities at G2E are invaluable.
“Running into people in the hallway can lead to some of the most valuable connections,” Korbi Carrison
