Leading B2B gaming industry media brand Inside Asian Gaming is thrilled to announce the JW Marriott Grand Ballroom at Galaxy Macau as the venue for the 19th Asian Gaming Power 50 Black Tie Gala Dinner on Friday 6 November 2026, with Galaxy Entertainment Group as the Official Venue Sponsor.
The Official After Party will be held at The Ritz-Carlton Bar & Lounge, one of Macau’s premier nightspots, located on the 51st floor of The Ritz-Carlton, Macau.
With the Asian Gaming Power 50 Black Tie Gala Dinner – IAG’s flagship annual event – operating on a rotating basis at properties of Macau’s six concessionaires, this year represents its return to Galaxy Macau and the JW Marriott Grand Ballroom for the first time since 2019.
As is tradition, the event will consist of an hour-long Welcome Cocktails, followed by the Black Tie Gala Dinner itself, and finally the Official After Party – all of which will be held at Galaxy Macau.
JW Marriott at Galaxy Macau combines state-of-the-art facilities with a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal setting for world-class conferences, weddings and social events.
