After successfully hosting the 15th edition in 2024, G2E Asia and the Asian IR Expo will return to The Venetian Macao from May 7 to 9, 2025.
The organizers announced: "With strong support from the Macao SAR Government and key industry players, this event will once again promote growth and innovation in both the gaming and non-gaming sectors."
The exhibition area for the 2025 joint return will increase by 50%, with over 150 exhibiting companies covering 30,000 square meters. This major expansion is expected to attract more than 10,000 industry professionals to participate in the exhibition and a series of events, including personalized one-on-one business meetings, high-impact social events, and two concurrent educational programs.
To meet strong demand, the Asian Integrated Resorts and Hotels Expo has further enhanced and expanded its focus based on the success of the previous two editions.
The expo now covers "every link of the supply chain" in the integrated resorts and hotel industry, including technology and solutions for integrated resorts and hotels, live entertainment equipment and technology, sports and entertainment, green hotel supplies, and integrated resort tourism suppliers and operators.
The organizers explained: "We will implement a strong invited buyer and matching program to ensure exhibitors meet with targeted buyers through pre-arranged meetings." As the number of integrated resorts in Asia continues to grow, many new projects, expansions, upgrades, and renovations are currently underway.
This program provides exhibitors with an opportunity to directly interact with over 500 invited buyers and decision-makers from these projects.
In addition to the business opportunities offered within the exhibition hall, visitors to G2E Asia and the Asian Investor Relations Expo can also explore various educational content.
The organizers added: "Its on-site events cater to different market segments, levels, and interests, while providing the best atmosphere for participants to establish new contacts, conduct business, and understand the latest global industry trends."
The three-day G2E Asia conference will provide in-depth market analysis of emerging markets and prospects of the Asian gaming market, technology and innovation strategies in the gaming industry, and best practices from the IAGA Institute.
Meanwhile, the Asian IR Summit will be held at the Galaxy International Convention Center from May 6 to 8, 2025, where exciting conferences will discuss the opportunities and challenges of introducing non-gaming elements into Asian IRs, future technologies affecting the IR and hotel industries, and sports and entertainment.
Furthermore, the announcement stated that the G2E Asia Awards will recognize excellence and innovation in the Asian entertainment industry's gaming and non-gaming sectors, providing "unparalleled branding and networking opportunities."
