G2E 2023—presented by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and organized by RX—brought more than 25,000 gaming professionals to Las Vegas last week, showcasing casino gaming’s newest entertainment offerings and exploring new frontiers for the industry.

“Gaming is stronger than ever, and the products and ideas displayed at G2E this week will enhance our industry’s offerings not just here in Las Vegas, but around the world. G2E does more than convene the industry—it unites us. This year’s show truly highlighted the innovation and collaboration that is driving gaming’s current growth and paving the way for our future,” Bill Miller, President and CEO of AGA, said.

The 23rd edition of G2E featured more than 100 education sessions and exhibitors and attendees representing more than 125 countries, territories, and regions with regulated gaming jurisdictions. The 368 exhibitors and participating companies, 128 of which were new, spread across a post-pandemic G2E record 269,000+ square feet of exhibition space.

“G2E continues to be the premier destination for gaming stakeholders worldwide. From our new brand and innovative activations to world-class exhibitors and blockbuster keynotes, we continue to raise the bar on G2E to deliver an experience that drives business and propels the industry forward,” said G2E Event Vice President Korbi Carrison.
