“In light of the ongoing COVID-19 disruption and continued travel restrictions across Asia Pacific, G2E Asia has shifted its focus to 2022 to ensure we meet the show’s high expectations, which we share with our valued exhibitors and attendees,” Vera Ng, project director, Reed Exhibitions, explained this Monday to GGRAsia.
This latest postponement means there will be a gap of at least three years and three months between G2E Asia’s in-person shows.
A 2021 in-person edition for G2E Asia had been scheduled originally for May 25 to 27 inclusive. The event’s promoters already had postponed twice the trade show and conference: the latest dates – now cancelled – were November 9 to 11.
The G2E branding is also associated with a trade show usually held annually in Las Vegas in the United States. G2E Las Vegas 2020 was dropped entirely from that year’s calendar, due to the pandemic, but the trade show and conference returned this year, taking place earlier this month.
