will take place October 4-7, 2021<\/a><\/em><\/strong> at the Sands Expo and Convention Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cIn light of continued uncertainty around a viable marketplace at a physical G2E show, global travel restrictions, and currently unknown guidance on large public gatherings this fall, we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that we simply cannot hold an in-person G2E this year,\u201d said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u201cHealth and safety have always been our top priority and the uncertainty created by the ongoing pandemic makes this the prudent decision ahead of critical deadlines for exhibitors planning to participate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For 20 years, G2E has welcomed nearly 30,000 attendees annually from across the globe, including executives representing key industry partners such as the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers, as well as the world\u2019s top casino operators, sports betting companies, and FinTech and digital payments facilitators, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe arrived at this decision after thoughtfully engaging with national, state, and local public health authorities, as well as exhibitors and buyers who have shared industry observations and priorities. Ultimately, it became clear that proceeding with an in-person gathering simply was not feasible,\u201d said Herv\u00e9 Sedky, Reed ExhibitionsAmericas President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is our commitment to use G2E\u2019s platform, as the leading convener of the global gaming community, to continue to deliver unparalleled education content, inspiring collaboration, and innovative ideas as the industry readies for continued growth,\u201d added Sedky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs the country works to reopen, the American gaming industry continues to adapt and provide the safest possible experience for our employees and customers while continuing to support the communities in which we operate. We look forward to the moment when we can convene together again with our colleagues from across the world and celebrate the resilience that our industry is known for,\u201d concluded Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event organizers will announce plans for virtual events and education in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
