The attendance nearly doubled G2E 2021’s 13,000 and came in just shy of 2019’s total of about 27,000.

“Our industry is experiencing record-setting growth, thanks to the innovation and technology our entertainment offerings,” said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. “After leading the return of tradeshows to Las Vegas last year, G2E 2022’s pre-pandemic atmosphere is a milestone for our industry and a testament to our collective excitement around gaming’s future.”

The 22nd edition of G2E, this year’s show featured more than 350 exhibitors and participating companies spread across 252,000 square feet, up 42 percent compared to 2021. The education program featured six keynote conversations and more than 80 seminars and panels on the latest industry trends and ideas.

“It was fantastic to bring the full global gaming community back together to reconnect and drive business,” said Korbi Carrison, G2E’s event vice president. “The energy and excitement at this year’s show announced that gaming is all the way back and made it the most impactful G2E yet.”
