An alternative London show has been announced for January 2009. InterGame Expo will take place from Monday, January 26 to Wednesday, January 28 at the Ibis Hotel, which is situated in Lillie Road - within 10 minutes' walk of Earls Court, home of the ATEI show.
InterGame Expo is designed as a 'no frills' exhibition, responding to exhibitor demands for a modestly-priced event. InterGame's David Snook said: "We have been asked by a number of companies to prepare an alternative show that will meet their demands: the end of January, all on one level, reasonably priced and marketed globally. That is what we have done."
The dates for the 2008 Autumn Enada show have changed to 8,9,10 October.
“We’ve brought forward the dates of ENADA ROME and decide to position it on mid-week days to qualify the participation of trade members and ensure further visiting opportunities. This decision is in line with other international expos. Plus, the beginning of October, particularly in the centre and south of Italy, is still a busy period work-wise, a sort of tail-end of the summer season, so weekend days are still very busy as far as work is concerned. The move was made in agreement with companies and according to the availability of the venue and we’re convinced that three days completely dedicated to trade members is a good choice.” said Simone Castelli, manager of Rimini Fiera’s Business Unit 2, which includes ENADA.
Last year, on the four days (which included Saturday and Sunday), ENADA ROME was attended by 10,599 trade members (15% more than 2006), of whom 1,023 were from abroad (a 19% increase).
The American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA) has announced that this year's EXIME (International Exposition for Amusement Machines) Show has been cancelled.
Mike Rudowicz, AAMA President, explained that the association was unfortunately forced to cancel the show due to a number of logistical problems. "Due to a conflict with Expo Guadalajara, and lack of available dates in our desired time-frame, it was necessary to cancel this year's show," said Rudowicz. The EXIME Show was scheduled to be held this summer on July 30-31, 2008 at Expo Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Mexico.
No show this year means that plans are already underway for the 2009 EXIME Show, which looks to be bigger and better than ever! The show will be held in June of 2009 and returns to the World Trade Center in Mexico City, Mexico. Dates, travel information, and exhibition/attendee rates for the 2009 Show will be released as soon as it becomes available.
