The 2015 edition of Global Gaming Expo Asia (G2E Asia) recently became the largest edition to date. Returning last month (May 19-21) to The Venetian Macao, the show’s ninth edition closed its doors on yet another successful and record-breaking year.

G2E Asia 2015 recorded a record-breaking attendance of 10,095 visitors from 79 countries and regions, along with 185 exhibiting companies – at a 21% increase from 2014. Additionally demonstrating the event’s ever-expanding interest from abroad, 7,288 or 69% of G2E Asia 2015 visitors came from outside of Macau, at a 20% jump from the previous year. With each consecutive year, show visitorship has extended further beyond Asia’s borders.

“This year we introduced a number of new key initiatives to enhance visitors’ on-site experience,” said Keli Elkins, AGA vice president of industry relations. “A central facet of these changes was a much expanded non-gaming element to satisfy the booming demand for services and resorts that integrate the very best of gaming, entertainment and hospitality.”

“As Asia’s leading events organizer, we are committed to creating a better G2E Asia with each successive edition,” said Reed Exhibitions Greater China president Hu Wei. “Now, we look back on our first-ever edition of this show that hosted just under 3,000 with great nostalgia. Yet, it also serves as a reminder of not only how far we’ve come, but further motivates us to get bigger and better with each year. We’re already anticipating an even bigger, record-breaking show at G2E Asia 2016.”
