Global Gaming Women (GGW) has announced its schedule of events for the 2026 Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas, where the organisation will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a series of networking, educational, fundraising and community-focused initiatives designed to support women throughout the global gaming industry.
The programme reflects a milestone year for GGW as it also celebrates reaching 10,000 members worldwide. Throughout G2E week, attendees will have opportunities to connect with industry leaders, participate in professional development activities and support initiatives that advance women across the sector.
“Global Gaming Women is proud to present a robust calendar of events that bring our mission and impact to life through dynamic programming at the 2026 Global Gaming Expo,” said Siobhan Lane, GGW president and board chair. “As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary and achieving the 10,000 global member milestone, we are motivated to deliver engaging programming that resonates with our diverse member base, deepens industry connections, and accelerates the professional development of women across the industry.”
Highlights include the invitation-only Day Zero Party at Resorts World Las Vegas, hosted in partnership with CDC Gaming and celebrating the 2026 class of 10 Women Rising in Gaming.
GGW will also bring its popular Link and L.E.A.R.N. series to G2E for the first time, offering attendees a free networking event featuring inspiring discussions and social engagement. This is a free event; pre-registering via this link is recommended.
The organisation’s GGW Retreat will run throughout much of the exhibition, providing a dedicated space for networking, collaboration and learning. GGW will also join the American Gaming Association in honouring Holly Gagnon, a GGW Founder’s Circle and Advisory Board member, as she is inducted into the AGA Gaming Hall of Fame.
Returning favourites include Sip & Social, which combines professional networking with keynote content and will feature motivational speaker Elizabeth Smart, and Kick Up Your Heels, GGW’s flagship fundraising event hosted this year at Intrigue at Wynn Las Vegas. The fundraiser will also recognise the recipients of the 2026 Patty Becker Pay It Forward Awards.
