Coronavirus: WGES Barcelona postponed

The World Gaming Executive Summit will now take place in December due to disruptions caused by the global Coronavirus outbreak.

Spain.- The World Gaming Executive Summit (WGES) has been postponed to December due to the Coronavirus crisis, organisers have confirmed.

The expo was scheduled to take place in Barcelona in June but will now be held from 7 – 9 December at the W Barcelona Hotel.

In an email to participants, organisers said the decision was made due to uncertainty caused by the Coronavirus outbreak.

“WGES are taking the precaution to postpone the Summit to ensure we can deliver the high-level event that our speakers, clients and sponsors know and love,” the email said.

“The event is already showing signs of being impacted by the uncertainty caused by the Coronavirus’ disruption to health and travel, and we wouldn’t gamble your money on whether that improves in the months to come,” the email added.
