After three long years, how does it feel to finally be back?
Asia is emerging from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and new developments are taking place in Southeast Asia. We are excited to create the special edition of G2E Asia in Singapore this year which allows suppliers to reconnect face-to-face with current customers, meet new customers to expand business in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, India, and South Korea. G2E Asia also serves as a one-stop business platform allowing connections in a targeted environment and direct access to the latest market trends, insights, and regulatory requirements.
With Macau still closed, there was a need to move G2E Asia to a new location this year. Why Singapore?
Singapore is located at the center of Southeast Asia and it is the global transport hub with flight connections from hundreds of cities around the world which makes the travel very easy. On the other hand, Singapore’s Vaccinated Travel Framework allows all fully vaccinated travelers to enter Singapore without applying for entry approvals.
What can visitors expect from G2E Asia 2022?
G2E Asia enables visitors to reconnect and network with leaders, long time peers and vendors in-person, gain quick win ideas that drive business forward via understanding the latest market trends, innovative products, and regulatory requirements, together with firsthand access to technology specialists, investors, regulators, and top leaders in the field.
G2E Asia 2022 will feature an exclusive focus on key industry segments across its interactive show floor, namely: Smart IR and Innovation Zone, a showcase of the innovative solutions to enhance the communication with customers, improve work efficiency, and scale up sustainability; Esports Connect Asia Zone, a combined exhibitor showcase of esports games, hardware, and devices as well as the esports forum and regulatory workshop.
The G2E Asia 2022 Conference Program, led by a lineup of high-level industry leaders and influencers, will present updates and outlook for growth and economic viability on new projects and new regional developments in Asia. Each of the three days will feature themes covering “What’s Next for Gaming and Entertainment in Asia”, “Win with Transformation”, and “Leveraging Innovation and Technology”.
G2E Asia 2022 will also be co-located with the Esports Connect Asia Regulatory Workshop, open to qualified attendees, targeting the regulatory and legal fields. Experts will share their knowledge and experience on the challenges and opportunities in the regulation of esports and video games for consumer protection and economic development.
G2E Asia delivers an unmatched variety of value-added networking opportunities found nowhere else in Asia. 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 and upcoming global industry trends.

How will G2E Asia: Singapore differ from the traditional Macau show?
G2E Asia Singapore this year will focus on Southeast Asian markets, including Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, and the new emerging markets such as Thailand.
The education program is another focus of G2E Asia 2022 which consists of G2E Asia Conference, the Esports Connect Asia Regulatory Workshop, and the Future IR Tech Talk Forum. This allows visitors to understand the latest market trends, learn the challenges and opportunities in the regulation of esports and video games, and get firsthand access to technology and innovative products.
G2E Asia reacted with a flexible and innovative approach, strengthening online services, and migrating physical events online. G2E Asia Singapore will feature a G2E Asia Live Platform through which visitors will be able to view the conference online (for paid delegates accessing the conference remotely), access the Livestreamed Digital Guided Tours, browse the online exhibitor directory, and more. The G2E Asia Live Platform allows an effective way to make a connection with industry before, during and after the show.
Finally, is the plan to return to Macau in the future?
G2E Asia owes much of its success over the past 13 years to the support of the Macau SAR government and collaborating partners in the region. We look forward to returning to Macau—the heart of Asian gaming—as it continues to serve as a strong show partner and economic driver in the region.
