Daisy Ho Chiu Fung, chairwoman and executive director of Macau casino operator SJM Holdings Ltd., and a daughter of Macau’s former gaming monopolist Stanley Ho Hung Sun, will deliver a keynote speech on the first day of Global Gaming Expo Asia 2019. The casino trade show and conference is taking place May 21-23 at the Venetian Macao casino resort on Cotai.

Chan’s session will be followed by a talk by Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Macao Government Tourism Office director. She will speak about the local government’s strategy for tourism in the city.
Japan’s nascent gaming scene will also be addressed at conference sessions on the first day of the trade show. There will be two sessions about Japan on the afternoon of May 21—the commercial prospects for the market and the potential impact of its development on other Asian gaming markets.
The second day of the education program will feature the topic of financial technology, or fintech, with a forum on “the latest technology developments and innovations in digital payments and finance security.” The conference sessions on the last day of the trade show are centered on sports betting in Asia.
