G2E Asia and Asian IR Expo, the flagship trade shows for the gaming, entertainment, and integrated resort industries, return to The Venetian Macao, Macau, from May 12-14, 2026. The co-located shows are expected to attract 8,000 industry leaders and professionals from over 90 countries and regions, providing a premier platform to explore innovations, exchange insights, and forge strategic partnerships. With Macau serving as Asia’s leading integrated resort hub, the setting provides attendees with a firsthand view of the region’s innovation momentum.

Together, they will showcase emerging technologies and solutions shaping the future of the industries.
