G2E 2022 education line up to drive future of gaming.

The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) – presented by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and organized by RX – will welcome Wynn Resorts’ Craig Billings, FanDuel’s Amy Howe, Bally’s Corporation Soo Kim, DraftKings’ Jason Robins, Circa Resort and Casino’s Derek Stevens, and PENN Entertainment’s Jay Snowden to the G2E 2022 keynote stage.

With decades of combined experience leading gaming operations and business across national, regional, and online markets, the group will provide insights on the current landscape and direction of the industry when G2E 2022 returns to Las Vegas October 10-13 (Education: Oct. 10-13 | Expo Hall: Oct. 11-13) at The Venetian Expo.

“We are excited to bring these innovative leaders to the keynote stage at G2E 2022,” said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. “This all-star panel will provide invaluable perspective on the future of gaming as we embrace new opportunities to continue our strong recovery from the pandemic-caused disruptions over the past two years.” 

The Tuesday keynote, sponsored by Everi, will kick off G2E 2022 as Miller takes the stage on Tuesday, October 11 at 8:30 AM PT with a welcome address on the state of the industry. Following his remarks, CNBC’s Contessa Brewer will host, “Executive Outlook: Leaders Shaping the Future” for three distinct conversations:

  • Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings and Circa Resort and Casino Owner and CEO Derek Stevens will discuss the trends and future of the Las Vegas and broader Nevada gaming market.
  • Bally’s Corporation Chairman Soo Kim and PENN Entertainment CEO and President Jay Snowden will cover regional casino trends and growth.
  • FanDuel CEO Amy Howe and DraftKings co-founder and CEO Jason Robins will dive into the future of iGaming and sports betting. 

G2E’s full education line-up opens on October 10 at 9:00 AM PT and will welcome the global gaming community for collaborative conversations on the future of gaming, including sports betting, digital payments and cryptocurrency, tribal gaming, and international markets.  

“We look forward to once again leading important discussions at this year’s show that will drive innovation and propel our industry well after G2E concludes,” said Miller.

Additional keynote sessions will be announced in the coming weeks.
