Australasian Gaming Expo: excitement is building.
More than 170 companies have reserved their exhibition stand at this year’s Australasian Gaming Expo, making the event the biggest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the larger trade shows operating in Australia.
Opening at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre from 10am until 5pm on Tuesday 21st, Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd August, the event attracts thousands of industry VIPs, gaming executives and decision makers who come to see the latest in gaming and hospitality products and services.
The Gaming Technologies Association organises the event and recognises both exhibitors and visitors with special prizes. A “best small stand” prize is awarded to the most creative, innovative and imaginative exhibition stand which engages and interacts easily with visitors. Each day of the Expo, a prize is awarded to a visitor whose name is randomly drawn from those who’ve attended the exhibition that day. In 2011 two visitors from New South Wales and one from Victoria each won a trip for 2 people to Las Vegas, including air travel and 5 nights’ accommodation in Las Vegas – and these prizes will be repeated in 2012.
All of the Gaming Technologies Association’s members are proudly represented on the exhibition floor, including Ainsworth Game Technology, Aristocrat Technologies, Aruze Gaming Australia, Bally Gaming Australia, IGT (Australia), Konami Gaming Australia, Shuffle Master Australasia and WMS Gaming.
Over 30 of the exhibiting companies will be attending the event for the first time, guaranteeing that visitors will be able to review and compare new and innovative products from existing suppliers and potentially, new suppliers. All exhibiting companies are now hard at work preparing their stand designs, with some new product releases timed especially to be shown to the industry for the first time at the Gaming Expo. Exhibitors spend a huge amount of time and effort making sure that their products and services are presented to exhibition visitors in the best possible setting outside a club, hotel or casino. This makes it convenient for visitors to conveniently compare the ‘best of the best’ under one roof at one time.
The event includes the Australasian Gaming Expo conference, which will be operated by Hospitality Management Development Australia and promises to deliver compelling insights on recent industry and political developments. It’s become very obvious that the future “movers and shakers” of the industry are those who have the courage to absorb and learn from insights; and the foresight to attend such a conference. They will be tomorrow’s visionaries and they will generate a future which will satisfy global and local audiences, starting here at the Australasian Gaming Expo conference.
