Following the success of the 2024 event, which marked its fifteenth successful year, the G2E Asia and Asian IR Expo will return to Macau from May 7-9, 2025 at the Venetian Macao. “With strong support from the Macao SAR government and key industry players, the event will once again foster growth and innovation across the gaming and non-gaming sectors,” organizers announced.
The joint return in 2025 boasts a 50% increase in event space, with over 150 exhibiting companies occupying 30,000 square meters. The major expansion is expected to draw more than 10,000 industry professionals, participating in the exhibition and a range of activities, including personalized one-on-one business meetings, high-impact networking events, and two concurrent educational programs.
Responding to strong demand, the Asian IR Expo enhanced and expanded its focus beyond the success of the past two editions. Now covering sectors such as IR Technology & Solutions, Live Entertainment Equipment & Technology, Sports & Entertainment, Green Hotel Supplies, and IR Travel Suppliers & Operators, it seeks to cover “every aspect of the supply chain” for the integrated resorts and hospitality industry.

“A robust hosted buyers and matchmaking program will be in place to ensure exhibitors meet target buyers through pre-arranged meetings,” the organizers explained. With the growing number of Integrated Resorts in Asia, numerous new projects, expansions, upgrades, and renovations are currently underway. The program presents an opportunity for exhibitors to engage directly with over 500 hosted buyers and decision-makers from these projects.
Apart from the business opportunities offered on the show floor, visitors of G2E Asia and Asian IR Expo can explore the varied educational content. “Its on-site activities target different segments, levels, and interests while providing participants an optimal atmosphere to make new connections, conduct business, and learn the latest global industry trends,” organizers added.
The three full days of G2E Asia Conference sessions will provide in-depth market analyses of emerging markets and the outlook for Asian gaming markets, strategies around technology and innovations for the gaming industry, and IAGA Best Practices Institute.
Meanwhile, the Asian IR Summit, held from May 6-8, 2025, at the Galaxy International Convention Center, will feature insightful conference sessions on the opportunities and challenges of bringing non-gaming components to IRs in Asia, future technology impacting the IR and hospitality industry, and sports and entertainment.
Additionally, the G2E Asia Awards will recognize excellence and innovation across both gaming and non-gaming sectors of Asian entertainment, offering “unparalleled branding and networking opportunities,” according to the announcement.
