The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Conference is scheduled from Oct. 7-10. Organized by the American Gaming Association, G2E is the world’s leading casino industry exhibition and conference where gaming executives, operators, advisors, suppliers and other industry professionals meet to see the latest product releases and advancements and learn about issues the industry is facing.

The conference is an opportunity to learn more about the trends in the global gaming industry, how to attract new markets, and how new regulations and technologies are improving consumer protection for those who participate in online gaming. An estimated 25,000 industry professionals from more than 115 countries will be participating in the conference.

“As we continue to build our iGaming strategy, we want to work with industry to ensure that Alberta’s regulated iGaming market is set up to succeed, making online gambling safer in our province. This event is an excellent opportunity to gather ideas and knowledge to support this goal.”
