Their discussion—View From the Top: Perspectives from Global Gaming Leaders—is poised to provide exclusive insights into the future of global gaming, the challenges of entering new markets, and opportunities to expand into new verticals.

More than 95 sessions are on the docket, designed to offer new perspectives on the gaming landscape, tackle regulations, and explore how technology continues to shape the way we play, pay, and win.
All Eyes on the Expo Floor: Innovation Unleashed
If previous years are anything to go by, the expo floor will once again be the heart of G2E. It’s a dynamic space where the world’s most advanced gaming technology will be unveiled and demonstrated. Whether it’s augmented reality-based gaming, the next evolution of e-sports betting, or blockchain-integrated payment solutions, every square foot of the Venetian Expo floor will be pulsating with innovations that have the power to revolutionize the gaming industry.
The exhibition isn’t just a showcase; it’s also a forum for valuable conversations. Global Gaming, Tribal Gaming, and Investments are all key themes this year, and the floor will serve as fertile ground for building relationships that transcend continents and cultures. From local casinos to international gaming empires, everyone will be here, ready to be inspired by the latest innovations or to close deals that will define the next chapter of gaming history.
Betting on a Responsible Future
As the gaming industry continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, G2E 2024 aims to keep its focus on responsibility. Without the proliferation of iGaming and sports betting worldwide, Responsible Gambling is a critical theme. How can gaming grow while protecting vulnerable players and ensuring a safe environment for all? These discussions will not only be theoretical; they’ll also feature leaders who’ve implemented best practices that others can replicate across the globe. The American Gaming Association plays a critical role in ensuring the gaming industry’s rapid expansion upholds ethical standards and promotes sustainable growth due to the advocacy push. The dedication to Responsible Gambling, and ensuring that every conversation includes an inclusive and fair approach, is at the core of this year’s education agenda.
The Grand Stage Awaits
G2E 2024 is about to be an epic journey for the gaming community, showcasing the pulse of an industry that is constantly reinventing itself. It’s a space for professionals to gain valuable knowledge, find new opportunities, and challenge the status quo.
