SCCG Take — This executive lineup concentrates operator attention on long-term growth mechanics and cross-sector convergence at a single venue, sharpening focus for licensees evaluating strategic priorities.
Organizers of the Global Gaming Expo have named three major Las Vegas casino CEOs for a flagship Main Stage panel at the 2026 trade show.
Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and President of MGM Resorts, Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts, and Tom Reeg, CEO of Caesars Entertainment, will appear together. Contessa Brewer of CNBC will moderate the discussion, which follows a welcome keynote from American Gaming Association President and CEO Bill Miller.
The panel will explore expansion in Las Vegas and internationally, integrated resorts, technology, tourism and the forces shaping long-term growth. It will also address the opportunities and challenges defining gaming’s next chapter. Miller is expected to emphasize the innovation, strength and collaboration driving the legal gaming industry.
Bill Miller said: “We are thrilled to welcome an exceptional lineup of industry leaders and speakers to the G2E Main Stage.”
He added: “These conversations will bring together influential voices to share insights, spark meaningful conversations and discuss the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for our industry.”
A separate session will feature Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, in conversation with Hall of Fame hockey player Wayne Gretzky. The discussion covers the convergence of sports, digital innovation, sports betting and what it truly takes to achieve greatness.
According to reporting by Inside Asian Gaming, the full education lineup for 2026 features more than 100 sessions and over 300 speakers across the four days of the trade show. G2E runs from 28 September to 1 October.
Executive Panel on Industry Drivers
The session assembles leaders from three leading operators to address concrete topics including international expansion and technology adoption. Moderation by a national correspondent positions the panel to connect operator strategies with broader market forces already outlined in the announced themes.
Scope of the 2026 Education Program
The confirmed speaker count and session volume establish G2E as a central venue for sector-wide dialogue. Inclusion of both casino executives and a sports icon reflects the event’s explicit focus on intersecting areas such as sports betting and digital innovation without extending beyond the disclosed parameters.
