The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) has unveiled its main stage programming for North America’s largest gambling conference, featuring discussions between MGM Resorts International CEO Bill Hornbuckle, Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings, Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg and Hall-of-Fame hockey player Wayne Gretzky.
Bill Miller, President & CEO of the American Gaming Association (AGA), will open the panels on September 29 to “emphasize the innovation, strength and collaboration” which drives the legal gaming industry.
"We are thrilled to welcome an exceptional lineup of industry leaders and speakers to the G2E Main Stage," Miller said.
"These conversations will bring together influential voices to share insights, spark meaningful conversations and discuss the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for our industry."
Hornbuckle, Reeg and Billings will start by discussing the current state of US and international gaming, as well as new expansion in Las Vegas and overseas, technology, tourism and the “forces shaping long-term growth.”
Following the opening conversation, BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt will join Gretzky to discuss the “convergence” of sports, digital innovation and sports betting, as well as “what it truly takes to achieve greatness.”
On September 30, activist Elizabeth Smart and Global Gaming Women Co-Chair of Mentorship Meghan Sperzano will speak on “resilience, mental adversity and what it means for professionals, especially women, to show up as whole humans, not headlines.”
The conference will once again be hosted from The Venetian Las Vegas and run from September 28 to October 1.
In July, Interblock Gaming hosted Global Gaming Insider for an exclusive sneak preview of its new showroom in Las Vegas, set to be launched ahead of the G2E tradeshow in late September.
The showroom will play host to a complete lineup of Interblock’s next-generation gaming portfolio, including Destroyer: Naval Strike, Cosmic Crash, Battle for Earth and more.
MGM Resorts rekindled its responsible gambling collaboration with the AGA on September 1, part of Responsible Gambling Education Month which runs through September in North America
