The 2025 edition of the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia will take place in Macau from May 7 to 9, 2025. The Venetian Macao casino resort will serve as the venue. Organizers confirmed this schedule while also announcing the return of G2E Asia @ the Philippines. That event will happen on December 10 and 11, 2025, at the Manila Marriott Hotel inside Newport World Resorts.
The American Gaming Association and Reed Exhibitions organize all G2E Asia-branded trade events. Together, they continue to highlight the latest trends and innovations across the gaming and integrated resorts sector.
This year, the Macau event carries the official name ‘G2E Asia and Asian IR Expo 2025.’ Organizers stated that the event aims to deliver a full-scale experience. It will offer participants a wide range of opportunities across the gaming, entertainment, and integrated resort industries throughout Asia.
Earlier this year, G2E Asia and the Asian IR Expo 2024 attracted 6,319 visitors. The combined events ran from June 4 to 6, 2024, in Macau. Organizers reported that approximately 65% of attendees came from international markets. This strong turnout reflected the global gaming industry’s renewed energy. It also emphasized growing interest in innovation and regional expansion.
Additionally, G2E Asia will return to the Philippines this December. Organizers described G2E Asia @ the Philippines as a focused platform for market-specific insights and deeper regional engagement. The event will provide targeted networking opportunities for stakeholders aiming to expand in the Philippine gaming market.
The first edition of G2E Asia @ the Philippines took place in December 2019. That inaugural event featured a full conference segment and marked G2E’s initial physical presence in the country. Since then, organizers have not held any other G2E-branded events in the Philippines. Therefore, the 2025 return has generated excitement among regional operators and suppliers.
Organizers will reveal more event details in the coming months. These will include the full exhibition lineup, conference topics, and speaker sessions. These updates will help guide attendees and exhibitors as they prepare for both Macau and Manila.
As the regional gaming landscape continues to evolve, Manila has emerged as a key hub in Asia. The city’s legal framework supports both land-based casinos and online gaming operators. While Macau has traditionally served as G2E Asia’s primary location, Manila now offers strategic value. Industry leaders increasingly see the city as essential for long-term regional expansion.
Ultimately, the decision to host G2E Asia in both Macau and Manila signals the industry’s growing complexity and global reach. These two events will spotlight fresh opportunities and also strengthen cross-market collaboration. G2E Asia 2025 will play a vital role in connecting gaming professionals across Asia’s most dynamic economies.
