Industry trade show G2E Asia will return not once but twice in 2023, with “G2E Asia Special Edition: Singapore” to take place at Marina Bay Sands from 30 May to 1 June followed by the “Asian IR Expo + G2E Asia 2023” at The Venetian Macao from 11 to 13 July.
News of G2E’s return was announced by organizers Reed Exhibitions and the American Gaming Association (AGA) on Friday, with the traditional gaming expo and conference to be held at MBS and in its traditional May timeslot (albeit 30 May to 1 June rather than the usual third week of May), after moving to August last year.
According to information provided by Reed Exhibitions, this will be aimed at gaming professionals with content focused on gaming.
The Macau event, representing the first time G2E Asia has been held in Macau since 2019, is described as a non-gaming show focused on integrated resort offerings beyond gaming. Reed said the new show would look to drive business diversification and get expert insights on Macau’s latest economic development.
Both the Singapore and Macau trade shows will be accompanied by conference and networking events, it added.
G2E Asia had been held in Macau every year since 2007 but was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It returned in August last year at MBS although at a much smaller scale than in previous years.
The decision to host a second show in Macau in 2023 comes after the SAR reopened its borders to the world on 8 January.
