This year's G2E is set to be a special one, with the gambling expo celebrating its 25th anniversary between 6-9 October in The Venetian, Las Vegas.

While there are countless expos in the gambling industry, G2E has always been a highlight for the land-based sector and tribal operators in particular.

Along with the celebrations, the Global Gaming Awards ceremony will take place on the first day from 11:45am onwards to acknowledge some of the best and brightest companies and individuals from the past year.

As for panels, some notable ones include analysing Brazil's market launch, how games of skill have evolved the iGaming scene and discussing how the industry can stay ahead of ever-evolving criminal opportunities.

Sweepstakes, influencer marketing and prediction markets are all controversial topics at the moment, so expect several talks on these, too.

The Dealer Championships will also take place during this year's G2E, which will see croupiers from all across the US showcasing their skills as they vie for the number one spot.

As with any expo, there will be plenty of opportunities to enter giveaways, expand your LinkedIn connections count through networking events and catch up with old friends over a drink.

The first G2E show was held on 1 October, 2001, in the Las Vegas Convention Center and included Whoopi Goldberg as a keynote speaker
