G2E Las Vegas on schedule, say organisers

There are no plans to change the date of the big G2E trade show in Las Vegas (October 6-8), according to the sponsoring American Gaming Association.

Senior director of events Meredith Pallante and Korbi Carrison, the event director from organiser Reed Exhibitions, gave the news in a press release this week.

The show begins on October 5 with conferences, with the exhibits open the following day at the Sands Expo centre in the US city.

The sponsors and organisers said: “It is promising to see more casinos begin to welcome back guests as the gaming community works to come back stronger and safer than ever. Part of gaming’s recovery will be our ability to come together, which is why we are focused on providing a G2E that serves as the event to support recovery for the industry to rebound and thrive.”

They have put into place a series of precautions to protect convention visitors from any risks, working on the show layout, physical distancing, flow of people, health screening, medical response, deep cleaning, sanitisation and personal protective equipment.

“With these pillars as our framework, we are considering many options to supplement the extensive guidelines and procedures that The Venetian Resort and Sands Expo have developed.”
