AGE SHOWCASE<br />
A NEW ERA DAWNS FOR<br />
THE AUSTRALASIAN<br />
GAMING EXPO (AGE)<br />
The Australasian Gaming Expo opens this year at<br />
its new permanent home, the ICC Sydney in Darling<br />
Harbour.<br />
The organisers, Gaming Technologies Association, are<br />
very excited about the new location and with the fact<br />
that AGE is the world’s third largest gaming industry<br />
trade show. Requiring 19,000 square metres of floor<br />
space, it is indeed one of the largest trade events in<br />
Australia and easily the largest gaming event in the<br />
Southern Hemisphere. A finalist in last year’s EEAA<br />
Awards for Excellence, the event attracts exhibitors<br />
and visitors from around Australia and internationally.<br />
Through the course of time the AGE has become the<br />
ultimate showplace for new gaming technologies for<br />
casinos, clubs and hotels. The biggest attraction is<br />
the new machines and games from poker machine<br />
suppliers, who look forward to August each year to<br />
unveil their best products.<br />
The Association’s primary members Ainsworth,<br />
Aristocrat, Aruze, Ebet, IGT, Interblock, Konami and<br />
Scientific Games are world’s-best at their trade and<br />
AGE presents a great opportunity for their customers<br />
from around the region to experience the latest,<br />
cutting-edge gaming design and technologies.<br />
New gaming technologies are not the only attraction,<br />
with 250 exhibitors (including over 50 for the first<br />
time) proudly showcasing Audio Visual equipment,<br />
ATM Equipment, Building Services, Cash Handling<br />
& Equipment, Consultancy Services, Entertainment,<br />
Financial Services, Food and Beverage, Furniture,<br />
I.T., Interior Design & Fitout, Marketing Services,<br />
Membership Management, Paging & Communication,<br />
Point of Sale Systems, Retail, Security, Signage &<br />
Displays and Staff Uniforms. So there’s definitely<br />
something for everyone in the hospitality world.<br />
This year the AGE will be running complimentary<br />
seminars for all visitors over the first two days of the<br />
Expo. A highlight is the seminar at 9am on Wednesday<br />
16 August, when financial commentator Michael<br />
Pascoe will chair a panel of Global CEOs from the<br />
