“For two decades now, G2E has delivered educational content and this year’s conference is bookended with two dynamic leaders who are vital voices for the gaming industry,” said AGA’s President and CEO Bill Miller.

G2E, presented by the AGA, is the casino industry’s largest conference and tradeshow. It was planned for October 5-8 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas. The virtual conference is replacing the annual three-day event in Las Vegas that was canceled by organizers in July due to global travel restrictions and unknown guidance on large public gatherings during the pandemic. Virtual G2E 2020 will take place Oct. 27-28, with a kickoff session on Oct. 14.

The program will offer networking and business opportunities and feature content on pressing gaming industry topics, including COVID-19 recovery, modernization of payments, tribal gaming, and the expansion of legalized sports betting in America.

G2E’s virtual platform will also enable exhibitors and buyers to conduct business through virtual showrooms, product demos, AI-driven matchmaking, and one-on-one meetings.
