Organizers of the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia in Macau have postponed the event by two months due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

On Tuesday, the G2E Asia event’s promoters, the American Gaming Association (AGA) and Reed Exhibitions, announced that the 2020 event originally scheduled to take place at the Venetian Macao casino during May 19-21 had been postponed to July 28-30.

The official announcement said the organizers had been monitoring the global health crisis sparked by the spread of the COVID-19 disease and that its “top priority is ensuring a safe environment” for its staff, exhibitors and delegates. The decision to postpone was made “out of an abundance of caution” and following consultations with both exhibitors and the Macau government.

The organizers vowed to distribute a “supplement agreement for our cooperation” around one week from Tuesday. Further updates will be issued as they become available.
