LAS VEGAS – Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2020, the world’s premier gaming industry gathering, opened registration and unveiled education programming for this year’s virtual event Oct. 27-28, 2020.

G2E will host a kickoff keynote—Leading Through COVID-19: Real Conversations on Resilience—on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2020 at 11 a.m. EDT. Social influencer Brian Christopher will moderate the discussion featuring three gaming leaders who navigated their properties’ efforts to responsibly reopen:

“From the kickoff keynote to our last networking session, the goal for G2E 2020 is to provide insights, connections, and business opportunities that participants cannot find elsewhere and directly support our industry’s recovery,” said Cait DeBaun, AGA’s senior director of strategic communications and responsibility.

The two-day main event on Oct. 27-28 will offer networking, business opportunities, and feature content that highlights gaming trends and reflects challenges facing the industry, from sports betting and payments modernization to lessons learned during the pandemic.

“Every year, G2E spotlights the latest trends through education and product discovery, and facilitates personal connections that empower gaming companies and industry leaders for success,” said Korbi Carrison, G2E’s event director. “This year will be no exception. We’re excited for the opportunity G2E’s virtual format gives us to expand the universe of speakers and reach larger audiences worldwide.”
