The G2E Asia show has been postponed for a second time due to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis.

Originally scheduled to take place at the Venetian Macao casino resort from 19-21 May, G2E Asia was postponed to 28-30 July, but has now been pushed back to 1-3 December.

The latest postponement follows criticism of the first date change, which several possible attendees had deemed unrealistic given the global situation.

Commenting on the news COO of Reed Exhibitions, China Josephine Lee, said:

“The health and safety of our exhibitors, attendees and employees is paramount. The rapidly evolving situation makes it too difficult to host G2E Asia in a safe environment this summer.”

Organisers hope that, by the winter, things will have stabilised the industry will be starting to recover.

AYO.NEWS says:

Despite Macau itself managing to keep the COVID-19 outbreak under control, based on the latest projections of multiple virus waves and the necessity of long-term social distancing measures, we very much doubt international air travel will be operating sufficiently by the winter to allow for a successful G2E.
