G2E Asia 2017 One-Third Larger

The G2E Asia trade show will be approximately one-third larger than the 2016 edition, with more than 11,000 square meters of net floor area already sold.

This year’s edition of the Global Gaming Expo Asia trade exhibition and conference in Macau is projected to be around one-third larger than last year’s edition, according to comments of producer Reed Exhibitions Greater China.

“For the first time we will be using all three exhibition halls at the Venetian Macao,” Josephine Lee, executive vice president of Reed Exhibitions Greater China, according to the GGRAsia news site.

Lee previewed G2E Asia 2017 at a press review event, predicting 12,000 trade visitors from 90 countries and regions, with 30 percent of attendees expected to be senior decision-makers. Reed predicts 180 exhibitors, a 20 percent increase over last year, with around 50 first-time exhibitors.

The G2E Asia 2017 event will feature three new segments: the Integrated Resort Experience; the Parts and Components Pavilion; and the Future Technology and Leaders Get-together.
