Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia 2017 is on track to set all-time high marks on a variety of metrics. Current projections include:
- Over 12,000 visitors, including 1,000 top international buyers from 90 countries and regions
- Over 400 pre-arranged online and offline business meetings
- Nearly one-third of the 180 exhibitors participating for the first time
- Out of anticipated 70+ companies that will demonstrate innovative online gaming solutions, 45% are new to the event
Robust gaming and integrated resort product offerings
"Our goal is to create the most comprehensive experience possible with conference and in-show features that complement the expo, which truly serves as the marketplace for the Asian gaming industry. With interactive educational and networking opportunities, attendees will receive added benefits and opportunities to learn from colleagues and experts within the fast-growing Asian gaming industry," said Josephine Lee, Chief Operating Officer of Reed Exhibitions Greater China.
Key drivers of this projected growth are enhanced conference, robust gaming and integrated resort product offerings and interactive networking opportunities.
The Parts & Components Pavilion will highlight the most advanced parts and components in the industry—with participation of 100 R&D engineers, product designers, buyers and technical designers. This group of electronic gaming machine manufacturers helps Asian market operators source unique and innovative parts, components, and features that will appeal to the Asian casino gaming customer.
Product Hot Hits chart
In response to G2E Asia’s visitor requests for easier ways to find new products, this year’s show will debut Product Hot Hits. The Hot Hits chart is generated by compiling the number of exhibitor products whose QR Codes are scanned by visitors, using the G2E Asia app. The top 10 most-scanned products make the Product Hot Hits board. With a glance at the boards dotted around the show floor, visitors will get updates at an instant.
A first-time networking event called, ‘Future Technology Leaders’ Get-Together’ will convene over 120 technology executives from integrated resorts, gaming suppliers and government to exchange ideas and discuss the application of innovative solutions for better customer engagement.

Following the successful launch of the Gaming Regulatory Luncheon last year, this year’s working lunch with gaming regulators is called ‘The Gaming Regulatory Briefing and Networking Luncheon.’ This program enables gaming regulators to exchange views, share updates, and explore opportunities to cooperate in driving the development of Asian gaming.

To cap off each day, G2E Asia will host after-hours networking events. Internationally renowned DJs will perform, while attendees socialise and extend their networking opportunities.
G2E Asia also welcomes visitors to G2E Asia 2017 Networking Cocktail Hours at the G2E Asia Bar mid-day on the show floor.
