G2E 2020 virtual edition opens registration, announces kickoff keynote

Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2020 opened registration and unveiled education programming for this year’s virtual event to be held next October 27-28. Given the global context of the pandemic that forced the industry to cancel most of face-to-face events in 2020, this year’s keynote is “Leading Through COVID-19: Real Conversations on Resilience,” featuring three gaming leaders who navigated their properties’ efforts to responsibly reopen.

The two-day main event on October 27-28 will offer networking, business opportunities, and feature content that highlights gaming trends and reflects challenges facing the industry, from sports betting and payments modernization to lessons learned during the pandemic.

G2E will host a kickoff Keynote —Leading Through COVID-19: Real Conversations on Resilience—on Wednesday, October 14 at 11 a.m (EDT). Social influencer Brian Christopher will moderate the discussion featuring three gaming leaders who navigated their properties’ efforts to responsibly reopen:

  • Justin Carter, General Manager, Hollywood Casino Toledo
  • Cathy George, CEO, Firekeepers Casino Hotel, Battle Creek
  • Laura Stensgar, CEO, Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort and Hotel

From the kickoff keynote to our last networking session, the goal for G2E 2020 is to provide insights, connections, and business opportunities that participants cannot find elsewhere and directly support our industry’s recovery,” said Cait DeBaun, AGA’s senior director of strategic communications and responsibility.

Every year, G2E spotlights the latest trends through education and product discovery, and facilitates personal connections that empower gaming companies and industry leaders for success,” said Korbi Carrison, G2E’s event director. “This year will be no exception. We’re excited for the opportunity G2E’s virtual format gives us to expand the universe of speakers and reach larger audiences worldwide.”

The 16 concurrent sessions from G2E and content partners include:

  • COVID19 and responsibly reopening
  • Gaming leadership
  • iGaming
  • Payments modernization
  • Regulation today
  • Sports betting
  • Tribal gaming
  • Women in gaming

Panelists and keynotes speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.
