G2E 2026 Is Here
Join the industry leaders and innovators who are helping to shape the future of gaming.
Every fall, when the wheels touch down in Las Vegas, I feel a renewed excitement for the new connections, conversations and ideas that are sure to emerge from G2E. This year, we’re arriving with momentum from last year’s 25th anniversary. We encourage attendees to build on that by coming ready to cultivate new discussions, strengthen relationships and discover the innovations that will help move our industry forward.
As the industry continues to grow and evolve, G2E is the place to engage with the people, ideas and technologies shaping them. Come ready to have those conversations and use the show as an opportunity to connect with industry professionals, collaborate across sectors and gain insights that can help shape what gaming looks like in the years to come.
At G2E 2026, there’s a topic for everyone to explore, whether it’s something you know well or an area you’re looking to learn more about. With more than 100 education sessions and over 300 speakers—many of whom will take the G2E stage for the first time—attendees can build a program around the issues and opportunities most relevant to them. To make that even easier, we’re introducing themed days that group related topics together:
• Monday: Digital Technologies, Marketing, New Gaming Frontiers, Traditional Gaming
• Tuesday: Global Gaming, Lottery, Total Property Experience
• Wednesday: Payments, Responsible Gaming, Sports Betting
Be sure to make the Main Stage a part of your G2E itinerary. The industry’s leading CEOs will discuss the current state of gaming, the trends shaping its future and the opportunities ahead.
You’ll hear from featured guest Wayne Gretzky, who will reflect on his legendary career, sharing lessons on leadership, performance and what it takes to succeed at the highest level. Activist Elizabeth Smart will also make an appearance to discuss resilience in the workplace. “Prediction markets” will be a topic of conversation as well. Take the insights from these keynotes to shape your next idea or path.
Then take those conversations to the exhibition floor. With hundreds of exhibitors ranging from major slot manufacturers and game designers to the technology providers, service companies and innovators that make the gaming experience run—and shine—there’s plenty to explore. Ask questions, compare solutions, discover new technology and find opportunities to connect with the companies driving the industry forward. This year, attendees should also explore two new spaces designed to foster just that: the Business and Tech Solutions Zone and the New Exhibitor Zone.
While you’re on the floor, don’t miss the opportunity to stop by the Dealer Championship. For the second year in a row, we’re bringing together some of the best dealers from across the U.S., Mexico and Canada for a friendly competition. Dealers will take on blackjack and roulette challenges that showcase the technical skill and showmanship it takes to control the table, engage guests and manage the game. Last year’s inaugural tournament brought a real sense of camaraderie among competitors, and I’m looking forward to seeing that same spirit return this year.
Whether you’re joining us for one day or the entire week, come with a plan—and leave room for the unexpected. With a diverse lineup of speakers, fresh topics, innovations, activations and opportunities to connect, there are countless ways to make your time at G2E valuable.
So take advantage of everything G2E has to offer and make the experience your own. We’re excited to have you here, helping shape the future of gaming together.
