Get up to speed on cutting-edge technologies and how they may impact the gaming industry at G2E 2019’s Innovation Lab. These 15-minute TED-talk-style presentations offer insight on a variety of topics from industry experts and newcomers who may influence the gaming industry.
This year’s program is organized across three themes:
- Disruptive technology (Tuesday, October 15)
- New uses for existing technology (Wednesday, October 16)
- Emerging trends (Thursday, October 17)
As AGA Vice President Allie Barth puts it, “It’s important that we provide a platform to address key topics at G2E that may dramatically affect the gaming landscape. Now in its fourth year, the Innovation Lab has evolved to inspire conversation and spark creativity on issues like artificial intelligence, cyber defense and more.”
The Innovation Lab will feature 20+ different sessions encompassing innovation and technology throughout the gaming ecosystem.
G2E will be held October 14-17 (Education: October 14-17 | Expo Hall: October 15-17) at the Las Vegas Sands Expo & Convention Center. The Innovation Lab is in Hall D at Booth #5833 with sessions taking place from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Tuesday through Thursday.
