The Global Gaming Expo (G2E), presented by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and organized by RX, has announced its main stage programming for the 25th edition of the event.

G2E 2025 will run from 6-9 October at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, bringing together over 25,000 professionals and nearly 400 exhibitors from more than 120 countries and territories.

Commenting on the event's lineup, AGA President and CEO Bill Miller stated: "We are honored to welcome a distinguished lineup of key industry leaders to the G2E main stage.

"As we mark 25 years of G2E, we're proud to continue to be a catalyst for gaming's growth, and our programming reflects the ideas and leadership shaping the industry's future."

The main stage program will begin on 6 October with 'Progress or Pressure: How Tribes Can Harness Innovation on Their Terms.'

Hosted by Indian Gaming Association Chairman Ernie Stevens Jr. and moderated by IGA Executive Director Jason Giles, the discussion will examine how tribal operators navigate technological innovation, sovereignty and the rise of unregulated markets.

On 7 October, G2E's keynote session will feature one-on-one conversations with industry executives: Bill Hornbuckle (MGM Resorts International), Peter Jackson (Flutter Entertainment) and Jason Robins (DraftKings).

Moderated by journalist Hope King, the session will explore themes such as market expansion, investor expectations and competitive dynamics.

The final day of main stage programming, 8 October, will highlight 'Breaking the Stigma: An Honest Dialogue on Mental Health.'

Presented by Global Gaming Women, the session will feature athlete and advocate Kendall Toole in conversation with GGW Sip & Social Chair Meghan Speranzo, aiming to address wellness and resilience in the gaming industry.
