Esports A Growing Emphasis At Global Gaming Expo In Las Vegas

The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) begins today at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, and this year there are "about 20 sessions on the program schedule" dedicated to esports, up from two last year. The annual international gaming trade show, presented by the American Gaming Association, includes sessions such as "Why Esports Matter to Casinos Now and in the Future" and "The Height of Gaming: A Successful Live Esports Event" (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 10/3).

The event is slated to go on as planned in the wake of this week's shooting. A statement on the G2E website reads in part, "We will closely monitor the situation and safety remains our priority" (THE DAILY).
