Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia 2014 saw a record breaking audited attendance of 8,233 daily attendees – a 36-percent increase compared to the 2013 edition, the organisers said in a statement.

The event was put together by the American Gaming Association and Reed Exhibitions, and took place between May 20 and 22 at the Venetian Macao.

The show floor covered a record breaking 8,640 square metres (93,000 square feet), up 16 percent from 2013, the statement added. The only other time G2E Asia’s show area had exceeded 8,000 sq m was in 2008.

There were a total of 160 exhibitors, an increase of 13 percent from 2013, representing more than 80 countries.

“Enhanced programming, improved conference schedules and networking events proved to be a big draw, as we’ve seen in the increased delegate attendance as well as positive feedback received,” said Nat Wong, president of Reed Exhibitions Greater China.

Exhibit Surveys Inc, an independent company, conducted the audit of the G2E Asia 2014 attendance data.

The 2015 edition of G2E Asia is scheduled for May 19 to 21, at the Venetian Macao.
