According to Agnes Leung, senior project director of Reed Exhibitions Greater China, the 2017 event welcomed approximately 14,000 visitors, representing an annual increase of around 27 %. Leung told local media GGRAsia the organisers were "very satisfied” with the results of G2E Asia 2017.
The organisers had stated previously they aimed to receive a total of 12,000 visitors – including on-the-day registrations – to G2E Asia 2017. The preliminary numbers indicate this year’s edition of G2E Asia was the largest ever, measured by attendance. The previous record had been set last year, when the event attracted 10,984 visitors, according to the organisers.
One of the topics widely commented on by exhibitors and visitors at this year’s trade show was the increase in the number of stands promoting products and services related to online gaming. Leung said growth in that segment of the trade show was expected to continue in 2018.
The 11th edition of G2E Asia covered more than 28,000 square metres of gross exhibition space. This year’s event featured 180 exhibitors, with nearly one third being newcomers to the event, according to the organisers.
G2E Asia made its debut at Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Centre in 2007. The three-day, annual event, organised by the American Gaming Association and Reed Exhibitions, has been taking place at the Venetian Macao since 2008.
Next year’s edition of G2E Asia is
scheduled for May 15 to May 17, 2018.
