The CEO panel features industry global leaders Hard Rock International’s Jim Allen, MGM Resorts International’s Bill Hornbuckle, and Wynn Resorts’ Matt Maddox will headline the keynote stage when G2E 2021 returns to Las Vegas from October 4-7.

G2E is presented by the American Gaming Association (AGA), and organized by RX (Reed Exhibitions). This year’s edition will reflect “the resilience, innovation, and leadership” that’s propelled gaming forward, said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller.

“We’re excited to welcome a robust lineup of the top names and brightest minds in this industry,” added Miller. “These collective insights couldn’t be more important as we forge the path ahead after one of the most challenging years in gaming history.”

Miller is set to kick off the show on Tuesday, October 5 at 8:45 a.m. PT, with a welcome address reflecting on gaming’s road to recovery. His remarks will be followed by Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak and U.S. Rep. Dina Titus (NV-1), who will speak on navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, the dynamic role gaming plays across the state, and delivering for the state of Nevada.
