Taking place across three halls from May 12-14, the co-located events bring together key stakeholders from across the gaming, entertainment, and integrated resorts sectors.

The 2026 edition spotlights AI, automation, enhanced guest experiences, and other emerging innovations shaping the future of gaming and entertainment. This is reflected in the distinct themes of the two anchor events:
• G2E Asia: “AI, Robotics & New Digital Innovations for Gaming Floor”
• Asian IR Expo: “Entertainment Technology”

Digital Highlights in the Expo Hall

The joint exhibition, spanning three halls, features 150 returning and new brands, covering the full spectrum of the industry’s supply chain and offering professionals a comprehensive view of the sector.

Asian IR Bar x Robo Space

A standout feature of this year’s edition, this immersive three-day pop-up bar brings digital innovation to life on the show floor. Attendees can experience a fully automated cocktail-making robot with AR-powered guest preference recognition, reducing service time by 30%. Attendees can also network and unwind with robot-crafted cocktails, powered by automated mixology systems and enhanced by smart guest recognition technologies.

The experience goes beyond the bar: a live robot band performs at scheduled intervals, blending music, robotics, and entertainment into a fully interactive showcase. Designed as a glimpse into the future of integrated resort experiences, the activation highlights how automation and immersive technology can elevate guest engagement in real-world hospitality settings.

Display and Entertainment Zone

A dedicated space for next-generation immersive technologies, this zone showcases how digital and physical experiences are converging across gaming and hospitality. At its core, interactive digital walls powered by NVIDIA Omniverse simulate real-time resort crowd flow and revenue optimization, offering operators actionable planning insights.

Beyond analytics, attendees can step into VR-powered environments, explore AR-enhanced activations, and engage with large-scale immersive displays and responsive interfaces. Designed to move beyond passive viewing, the zone highlights how interactive and AI-driven technologies can transform audience engagement and redefine entertainment experiences.

AI-Powered Matchmaking

Enhancing the event’s business impact, an intelligent AI-driven platform connects buyers and suppliers based on real-time preferences, business profiles, and sourcing needs. The system facilitates pre-scheduled and onsite meetings, enabling more targeted conversations and measurable outcomes.

On the first day alone, the platform initiated over a thousand B2B meetings, demonstrating its role in driving efficient deal-making and maximizing ROI for attendees.
