New Features for Innovative Gaming Products
The Parts & Components Pavilion will highlight the most advanced parts and components in the industry – with participation of 100 R&D engineers, product designers, buyers and technical designers.

The Hot Hits chart is generated by compiling the number of exhibitor products whose QR Codes are scanned by visitors, using the G2E Asia app. The top 10 most-scanned products make the “Product Hot Hits” board. With a glance at the boards dotted around the show floor, visitors will get updates at an instant.
Interactive Networking Opportunities
A first-time networking event called, “Future Technology Leaders’ Get-Together” will convene over 120 technology executives from integrated resorts, gaming suppliers and government to exchange ideas and discuss the application of innovative solutions for better customer engagement.
Following the successful launch of the Gaming Regulatory Luncheon last year, this year’s working lunch with gaming regulators is called “the Gaming Regulatory Briefing and Networking Luncheon.” This program enables gaming regulators to exchange views, share updates and explore opportunities to cooperate in driving the development of Asian gaming.
To cap off each day, G2E Asia will host after-hours networking events. Internationally renowned DJs will perform, while attendees socialize and extend their networking opportunities.
