MACAU – Global Gaming Expo Asia (G2E Asia) presented by the American Gaming Association and Reed Exhibitions, the leading Asian trade event and the largest regional sourcing platform for global gaming and entertainment products, has won the Branded Exhibitions Award at the inaugural Macao Convention and Exhibition Commendation Awards, organized by the Macao Convention & Exhibition Association.  The 2015 edition of these awards will be the first held to celebrate high quality MICE events in Macau.   G2E Asia, together with other category winners will be crowned on 17 December 2015 at the Macau Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The Branded Exhibitions Award is one of four award honors to be presented to events that took place between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015.  The other categories in which winners will be recognized include the Brand Convention Award, the Innovative Exhibition Award and the Bid Convention Award.  Using diverse selection criteria, a judging panel of MICE industry experts have selected the winners from entries from across the Macau MICE trade, in recognition of outstanding performance in elements characterized by exhibition settings, coordination, service quality and effectiveness.

G2E Asia has grown by more than threefold in size since it was first launched in Macau.  The number of international visitors has also skyrocketed in the first part of this decade by 340% since 2010. Accompanying this growth has been a burgeoning reputation for G2E Asia as the continent’s most important and credible gaming event and a major networking platform for gaming and entertainment professionals in the region.

Josephine Lee, Senior Vice President of Reed Exhibitions Greater China, organizers of G2E Asia, said, “We’re thrilled to be one of the first winners of the Macao Convention and Exhibition Commendation Awards. This achievement is a testament of G2E Asia’s excellence and position at the forefront of Asia’s gaming sector. We focus our energy and efforts on understanding the needs of our exhibitors and visitors so as to ensure that G2E Asia consistently delivers value that meets their needs.  We also pride ourselves on designing a comprehensive program that engages gaming professionals from every sector. We’re very thankful for this award.  It will serve as a big encouragement to our team and we will work even harder now to live up to the expectations set by our achieving this honour.”
