Now in its 10th year, G2E is the premier trade show and conference event for the international gaming industry. G2E 2010 will be held November 16-18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with the iGaming Congress at G2E scheduled for November 15-16.
"Experts are predicting the Internet gambling industry will grow by more than 50 % in the next five years, so it's essential for professionals in the gaming industry to have a strong understanding of how this sector will shape the future of our industry," said Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., president and CEO of the American Gaming Association (AGA). "For 10 years, G2E has provided a unique forum for discussing the latest complex global trends affecting the industry, and the introduction of the new iGaming Congress at G2E continues that legacy. This will be particularly relevant if Internet gambling is legalized in the United States."
G2E announced its partnership with iGaming Business Magazine earlier this year to coordinate iGaming content at the 2010 event. Now, with the addition of the Innovation Group, BolaVerde, Lewis and Roca advisory team, iGaming offerings at G2E will be strengthened and include a dedicated two-day iGaming conference, iGaming conference track, and iGaming Pavilion.
The iGaming Congress at G2E and the iGaming conference track will help gaming executives understand the potential impacts of Internet gambling regulation in the U.S. and Canada and provide them with critical information regarding the players, resources, legislative framework and issues that are important to this segment of the industry.
"G2E remains prepared and poised for iGaming legalization, and the strategic partnerships announced this year show how we are bringing iGaming to the forefront," said Courtney Muller, senior vice president at Reed Exhibitions, which is the co-organizer of G2E with the AGA. "By working with iGaming Business Magazine, a partnership we announced earlier this year, along with our newest partners-The Innovation Group, BolaVerde Media and Lewis and Roca, we are ensuring our attendees will have access to the most essential insights and information about the current state of and future outlook for iGaming worldwide."
