Event briefing
G2E 2026: the final-day schedule in Las Vegas
The short answer
G2E 2026 runs September 28–October 1 at The Venetian Expo. The organizer schedules the final expo day for Thursday, October 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Las Vegas time; the education program ends a day earlier.
In this article
G2E’s final expo day is shorter than the two that precede it: the published closing time on October 1 is 3 p.m., compared with 5 p.m. on September 29 and 30. All times below are local to Las Vegas.
Education and expo follow different calendars
The official hours and location page lists education beginning Monday, September 28, one day before the expo floor opens. It lists no education hours for Thursday, October 1.
| Date | Education | Expo |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, September 28 | 9 a.m.–5 p.m. | Not listed as an expo day |
| Tuesday, September 29 | 8:45 a.m.–4 p.m. | 10 a.m.–5 p.m. |
| Wednesday, September 30 | 9 a.m.–4 p.m. | 10 a.m.–5 p.m. |
| Thursday, October 1 | Not listed as an education day | 10 a.m.–3 p.m. |
Venue and individual sessions
The venue is The Venetian Expo, 201 Sands Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89169. The official education program is the reference for individual session listings; the daily opening hours alone do not establish a session’s time or location.
A calendar entry spanning all four event dates can therefore be misleading if it is used as the exhibition timetable. For a meeting tied to the expo floor, use the expo column. For a session, use its own program entry.
