The Global Gaming Expo announced Tuesday that Flutter Entertainment CEO Peter Jackson and MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle will headline the keynote session, “View from the Top: Perspectives from Global Leaders,” ahead of the expo hall’s opening.

Jackson and Hornbuckle will be interviewed by CNBC reporter Contessa Brewer on Tuesday, October 8, at 9 a.m.

Peter and Bill are two titans of the gaming industry whose perspectives will illuminate where the industry is headed and set the table for the ideas and innovations that will be explored throughout this year’s G2E,” said American Gaming Association President and CEO Bill Miller in a statement.

Brewer will lead a two-part discussion about global sports betting and gaming. The keynote conversations will cover how industry leaders are navigating the current economic landscape, expansion into new markets and verticals, and business challenges and opportunities.

“Gaming is undergoing historic expansion in the U.S. and internationally,” said Miller. “The AGA and our partners at RX look forward to hosting the global gaming community at G2E to address this widening array of industry priorities—both in our keynotes and education sessions and on the expo floor.”

Presented by the AGA and organized by Reed Exhibitions, G2E 2024’s full education lineup features more than 100 sessions. It will take place from October 7 to 10 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas.
