Global Gaming Expo 2026 runs September 28–October 1, 2026 at The Venetian Expo, 201 Sands Avenue, Las Vegas. Education starts on Monday, September 28, a day before the expo hall opens, and the expo hall closes early on Thursday, October 1.
What it is
G2E is a trade show and conference for the legal, regulated gaming industry, run by RX (Reed Exhibitions); the organizer calls it "the premier event for the global legal, regulated gaming industry." Attendees are commercial, tribal, online casino and sportsbook operators, suppliers, vendors and game developers, and others such as investors, marketers and regulators.

- Gaming equipment and the casino floor: slot machines, table games, electronic gaming, bingo and lottery
- iGaming and sportsbooks
- Business solutions and technology, including AI, cybersecurity, analytics, CRM and cash management, with a dedicated Business Solutions & Tech Zone
- Hospitality and guest experience
- Payments and financial services, including cashless gaming

Registration and admission
Passes come in tiers. Full Education covers all three education days; 1-Day Education covers one; Expo Hall Only covers the floor. Every tier includes three-day expo hall access, all keynotes and the expo-hall activities.
A G2E Pro upgrade adds reserved keynote seating, a private lounge and a dedicated registration area. Manufacturers and suppliers that sell into gaming but are not exhibiting can attend under a separate non-exhibiting supplier category. G2E is for gaming-industry professionals only: it is not open to children or non-industry guests, and no one under 18 is admitted, including infants.
Photographing or filming booths and products needs the booth owner's permission, and the show takes card or contactless payments only. Registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable, except to a colleague at the same organization with event management's approval.
G2E 2027 is scheduled for September 27–30, 2027, and G2E 2028 for October 9–12, 2028.
