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."

With Europe’s premier event for customer facing technologies and digital signage only months away, KioskCom Self Service Expo Europe has launched its 2008 show website – www.selfserviceexpo.co.uk – and, with an added interactive element, manufacturers can play a part in demonstrating the future of retail technology.

The innovation gallery, an all new feature for Self Service Expo 2008, offers a platform for exhibitors to showcase their most cutting-edge products – those that aim to change the face of self service.   

As Phil Hunter, event director, explains, the aim is to seek out the kiosks of the future:

“At the show this year, we want to demonstrate the evolution of the self service market and show our visitors – the people that are investing in the technology – exactly where the next big thing is coming from.  It’s about more than just showing the existing products that make life easier for the consumer, we want manufacturers who have taken things to the next level to shout about their innovations.  Perhaps a previously functional kiosk application that has been made totally secure or something none of us have seen before.”

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).
