Australasian Gaming Expo Under Construction
From 5am this morning over 500 skilled exhibition stand builders, carpet layers, riggers, carpenters and electricians (among others) are converging on the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre to build the Australasian Gaming Expo trade show for next week’s operational days on Tuesday 21, Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23 August.
Until late on Monday, more than 50 specialised vehicles including ‘cherry picker’ boom lifts and fork lift trucks will be running almost non-stop to build 185 exhibition stands. Over 1,000 truckloads of the world’s best and latest gaming and hospitality equipment will be moved in to the Expo, including over 750 new gaming machines.
At 15,000 square metres (roughly the size of an Aussie Rules football oval), the Australasian Gaming Expo is easily the biggest event of its type in Australia and one of the world’s biggest.
A trip for 2 to Las Vegas will be won by a lucky visitor on each of the 3 days of the Expo, compliments of the Gaming Technologies Association which owns the event.
Over 8,000 people are registered to attend, so now is the time to call the Gaming Expo Help Line on 1300 724 030 or visit www.austgamingexpo.com to register.
Note: The Australasian Gaming Expo is a trade exhibition, for management representatives of Gaming Industry Organisations only, including government, regulatory, research and support bodies, clubs, hotels, casinos, resorts and similar Hospitality Industry venues.
The Gaming Technologies Association’s full members include Ainsworth Game Technology, Aristocrat Technologies, Aruze Gaming Australia, Bally Technologies, IGT Australia, Konami Gaming Australia, ShuffleMaster Australasia and WMS Gaming Australia.
