The event is traditionally held in May but has been postponed several times in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The new date of August 2021 will “allow exhibitors and attendees more time to plan for their participation in light of continued COVID-19-related commercial and travel restrictions,” said the event’s organisers.
G2E Asia was twice postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic, with the original May date pushed back to July 2020, before being pushed further back to December 2020.
December’s event was postponed once again, with a provisional date of May 2021 given for the event. But it has now been decided that August 2021 is the most suitable date for G2E Asia to take place.
“Through ongoing consultation with our stakeholders and the Macau Government, Reed Exhibitions and the American Gaming Association determined that an August event provides the best opportunity to showcase the calibre of educational content and create the valuable marketplace that our industry has come to expect from G2E Asia,” a statement read.
“We look forward to bringing the gaming community together at G2E Asia, as the industry continues to recover from the devastating impacts of COVID-19.”
