London Shows Filling Up Fast

The organiser of London’s annual co-located International Gaming Expo (IGE) and Amusement Trades Exhibition International (ATEI), Clarion Gaming, has revealed that the shows are already at 80 percent capacity with a total of 240 exhibitors from 40 nations already signed up.

The shows will take place from January 26 to 28 at the giant Earls Court Exhibition Centre and promise to see buyers from over 100 nations turn up to see what’s new in the worlds of low-stake high-volume gaming, land-based casinos, remote gaming, lotteries, betting, online gaming and the leisure and amusements sectors.

“To be 80 percent full at this stage of the marketing cycle and set against the broader trading backdrop is extremely encouraging,” said Julian Graves, Managing Director for Clarion Gaming.

“The amusements offering comprises a buoyant 51 organisations that have an interest in the sector with the dedicated ATEI component comprising some 3,700 square metres of stand space.

“For visitors, the interface between amusements and gaming is an important one. IGE/ATEI is unique in that it provides buyers with direct access to the originators and developers of product covering the full range of gaming, betting, lotteries and amusements. No other exhibition in the world can offer this choice, this access and this depth.”

IGT-UK, the UK subsidiary of American online casino software developer International Game Technology (IGT), has announced that it will use IGE to showcase its entire multi-channel product portfolio for the first time.

“Showcasing our products as a group is consistent with our strategy of offering leading game content across multiple channels including mobile and Internet,” said Robert White, Vice-President for IGT-UK.

“This approach will allow visitors to IGE to come to a ‘one-stop shop’ for great games.

“IGE is a pivotal part of our business year with many key products for UK, international and remote gaming audiences being presented for the very first time. IGE provides the ideal platform for meeting up with key executives from across the entire spectrum of our business to discuss the latest products and the future direction of the business.”
