The American Gaming Association, with partner Reed Exhibitions, has decided to cancel the Global Gaming Expo scheduled for October, the gaming industry's top global event, according to a press release. The show's organizers are committed to facilitating economic, education, and networking opportunities for the global gaming industry through a series of virtual G2E events throughout the rest of the year to better reflect the current environment.
G2E was scheduled to take place Oct. 5-8, 2020; the next in-person edition of the Global Gaming Expo will take place Oct. 4-7, 2021 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.
"In light of continued uncertainty around a viable marketplace at a physical G2E show, global travel restrictions, and currently unknown guidance on large public gatherings this fall, we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that we simply cannot hold an in-person G2E this year," AGA President and CEO Bill Miller said in the press release.
