SHANGHAI, November 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With 95% of exhibition space already sold out, Global Gaming Expo ("G2E") Asia is shaping up to once again be the region's premier gaming event for 2014. G2E Asia is the largest regional sourcing platform for global gaming and entertainment-related solutions. Held annually in Macau, the heart of Asian gaming and one of the world's fastest growing gaming markets, G2E Asia is the hub where gaming professionals learn the latest trends, build networks and conduct business.
In 2013, G2E Asia hosted 5,851 high quality buyers and visitors from 72 countries and regions. After 8 years of intensive development, the show's organizers, Reed Exhibitions, in partnership with the American Gaming Association (AGA), have developed it into the farthest-reaching gaming event in Asia. The Players Club VIP program, which debuted as a resounding success in 2013, is set to make a welcome return next year. This invitation-only program brings hundreds of purchasing professionals and decision makers from Asia's premier casinos, integrated resorts, hotel properties and cruises face-to-face with the vendors of their most sought-after products and solutions. The participating buyers represent gaming's key markets, and not just those on the Asian continent————Macau, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, the Philippines————but all over the world. In 2013, the show also was able to engage key global media outlets, with 124 journalists representing a diverse mix of trade and mass media giving the show widespread coverage and a magnified profile in the region.
No other gaming expo in the region integrates a lively exhibition with an outstanding conference that features high-level speakers and unmatched educational content for gaming professionals. The G2E Asia conference program, rated by many as the best in the region, is where the gaming industry's most influential thought-leaders, innovators and decision-makers congregate for three days of lively discussion and expert analysis. In 2013, the diverse, 3-day conference featured 19 tracks and 44 industry-leading speakers who discussed the latest topics, focusing on Macau, marketing, the gaming floor, risk management, finance and non-gaming amenities. The sessions explored all the key touch points in modern global gaming and provided abundant networking opportunities.
An expanded show in 2014 promises participants greater value than ever before. In keeping with the event's tradition of mirroring industry demand and anticipating emerging trends, the G2E Asia 2014 show floor will have dedicated pavilions for Business Solutions and Training, Security & Surveillance and iGaming - all integral parts of the modern gaming landscape.
G2E Asia 2014 will be held from 20-22 May, 2014 at the Venetian Macao.
