EAG International Expo 2020 to showcase breakthrough technology for coin-operated visitor attractions

This year's EAG International Expo, which will take place between 14 and 16 January at ExCeL London, will give visitors an unprecedented opportunity to learn about and experience the very latest in cutting-edge technology for the gaming and leisure industries worldwide.

Building on its proud tradition of hosting the year’s first major leisure industry gathering, EAG 2020 is expected to feature more than 100 iconic leisure brands, showcasing products and services from more than 150 manufacturers from around the globe, along with a full programme of seminars on immersive technology.

Visitors to EAG 2020 will also witness a vast range of socially responsible cashless payment solutions for every conceivable style of leisure industry business, from pre-loadable cards to smartphone apps accessing e-wallets.

The show’s seminar programme has been carefully designed to bring a practical approach to the very latest trends in immersive, out-of-home entertainment, focusing specifically on the impact of new technologies on the amusements and attractions sectors.

Long recognised as a valuable hub for the coin-operated amusements industry, EAG 2020 will once again be an important opportunity for international industry operators to share and learn together.

Commenting on all of the technologies on show at EAG 2020, Martin Burlin, EAG Chairman, said: “Since our rebrand earlier in the year, there has been tremendous interest in 2020’s EAG Expo – it’s an expanded show but still very much founded on the coin-operated amusements sector. Next year’s show will also focus on innovative immersive technologies such as AR and VR and has an excellent programme of seminars on these topics."

“The role that EAG plays in bringing together so many operators in the leisure sector to discuss and share technological advances that are affecting our industry is more important than it has ever been. I am very excited by the opportunities that our show offers for exhibitors and visitors alike and I am very much looking forward to welcoming new and old friends to EAG International Expo 2020," Burlin added.

To register for a complimentary ticket to EAG International Expo 2020 visit: www.eagexpo.com

Opening the show is the bacta EAG dinner, the social highlight of the week, which gives attendees the chance to renew acquaintances and enjoy great food with friends and colleagues in welcoming surroundings.

The 2020 dinner will return to the glitz and glamour of the Sunborn Yacht Hotel, docked right alongside EAG International’s ExCeL venue.

The 2020 EAG dinner is open to everyone and will be held on Tuesday 14 January from 7.30pm -11.30pm, with guests set to enjoy a pre-dinner drinks reception and a delicious four-course meal with wine.

Tickets cost £85 per head and can be purchased individually or in tables of 10 via Karen Cooke at Swan Events; on 01582 767254 or [email protected]

With previous years selling-out fast, those wishing to enjoy this spectacular evening should contact Karen at the earliest opportunity.
