There’s no debate—October belongs to G2E. Each year, the industry makes its annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas for the Global Gaming Expo, a juggernaut of a tradeshow that blends online and land-based gaming, sports betting, payments, and emerging tech under one roof. For suppliers, innovators, and operators eyeing expansion in North America and beyond, G2E is an unrivaled platform. Executives from every continent descend on the Strip, making it a prime time for cross-border collaboration and deal-making.
Event ListOctober also marks the hosting of one of the industry’s most prestigious awards—the EGR Operator Awards in London. EGR is a highly respected publisher within the iGaming industry, known for its premium events and insightful industry reports.
But G2E and EGR aren’t the only names in play. October also features high-quality events in Mexico City (G&M News), São Paulo (IGI Expo), Stockholm (Nordic Gaming Show), Warsaw (European Gaming Congress), and Marrakesh (IGC)—each offering unique regional focus and growth opportunities. And for those immersed in policy and compliance, the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) hosts its annual global summit in October as well. This year’s edition, IAGR 2025, takes place in Toronto, Canada—a fitting location amid North America’s evolving regulatory landscape.
G2E spans both the land-based and online gambling sectors, as well as sports betting. It’s worth attending if you operate in both verticals. Beyond business opportunities, G2E offers a rare glimpse into one of the few places on earth where the gambling industry is continuously innovating and evolving—especially on the land-based side.

A new concept thats seeks to blend sit down 'boring' conferences with 'fun' sports tournaments. Well the boring part depends on the speakers and these the team at CourtSide has gathered some nice speakers, the fun side, depends on who attends so we cannot attest to such. Overall the idea behind, seeing from the various talks is pretty interesting because it is focusing on the merging of fintech and iGaming, something that is extremely relevant and possibly a 'hot topic' in many regulated markets. The rise of fintech (in part fueled by crypto) is possibly the engine behind all this.
