G2E Asia is on the move with the 2022 event set to relocate from its traditional home of Macau to Singapore. It will be known as “G2E Asia Special Edition: Singapore.”
Organizers Reed Exhibitions and the American Gaming Association revealed that G2E Asia 2022 will be held at Marina Bay Sands from 24 to 26 August. This replaces the previously announced trade event, which had been scheduled to take place at The Venetian Macao from 30 August to 1 September 2022.
It is understood that the move to Singapore is a temporary one, with the intention of returning to Macau once travel and border restrictions are eased. It is hoped this will be in time for the 2023 event, presumably to be held in its traditional May time slot.
The news is the latest in a number of scheduling changes for G2E Asia, which was twice postponed in 2020, first from May to July and again to December, before being cancelled altogether. The show was eventually re-scheduled for May 2021, then moved to August and again to November before finally being “postponed” to August 2022.
The decision to relocate to Singapore comes after authorities in the sovereign state dropped almost all restrictions on fully vaccinated international arrivals from 1 April onwards, with visitors needing only to provide a negative PCR test prior to departure.
