Biggest Hosted Buyer Program to Secure Key Visitors in Large Numbers

Across the continent, G2E Asia is renowned as a key gaming and entertainment business hub where professionals network and conduct business. A total of USD$28million business transactions were generated onsite in 2016.

This year’s edition will enhance this reputation even further.

Not only will the show attract over 12,000 trade visitors from 90 countries and regions, G2E Asia 2017 will also be bolstered by the staunch support of the Macao SAR government to incentivize and host incoming buyers from outside Macau.

The Hosted Buyers, a shortlist of 500 top international buyers, will receive travel subsidies financed by the Macao government.

Additionally, it is expected that more than 400 business meetings will be pre-arranged through online and offline match-making services.

Expo Enriches Focus to Drive Macao Government Initiative Forward

Not only will G2E Asia 2017 be a larger show in terms of size, the content will be much richer too. With the surge in non-gaming spending, the Integrated Resorts Experience (IRE) is a timely new addition to the booming event and an excellent way to diversify revenue streams for Macau.

According to Praveen Choudhary who spoke at the press conference, the IRE helps integrated resorts and casino operators stay ahead of the curve and keep a finger on the pulse of the market, as customers seek the ultimate experience beyond the casino floor.

The IRE is also the first-ever event at G2E Asia to centralize sourcing of new products, technologies, and services that drive revenue and value from non-gaming sources across Entertainment, Clubs, Bars, IR Technology and Business Solutions.

With this stronger focus on non-gaming, G2E Asia is answering the Macao government’s call to attract a market beyond pure gaming and to develop its MICE businesses, as well as other non-gaming attractions.

New Networking Event to Bring Hundred-Twenty Future Technology Leaders Together

Future Technology Leaders Get-Together, a newly-added networking event, will be the ideal platform where 120 future technology leaders from integrated resorts, suppliers and governments will be expected to congregate, exchange, get inspired and discuss applications of innovative technology and solutions to drive better customers’ engagement and enhance efficiencies in the Industry.
