Rebranded EAG International Expo set to become leading trade show for the international entertainment and attractions industry
05 Sep 2019 . BY Lauren Heath-Jones
EAG will take place at Excel London from 14 - 16 January 2020
The newly rebranded Entertainment, Attractions and Gaming International Expo (EAG), which will take place at ExCeL London from 14 - 16 January 2020, is set to become the entertainment industry’s leading and most comprehensive trade event.

Targeting over 5,000 active industry buyers from across the UK and internationally, Bacta - the official trade association for the UK’s coin-operated amusement machine industry – has broadened the scope of EAG International Expo to make it an attractive proposition for virtually the entire entertainment and attractions sector.

Originating in 2009 in response to demands from the coin-operated amusements industry, EAG is now open to exhibitors across the entire range of leisure areas and activities, from coin-operated amusements, new entertainment technologies, VR & AR sectors, along with eSports and other fast-growing markets.

Current visitor interest is high and represents buyers from some of the world’s leading tourist attractions, family resorts, amusement, trampoline and leisure parks, as well as arcades, bowling venues, shopping centres, entertainment centres, pubs and restaurants, bowling venues and holiday parks, EAG International is all about opportunity.

Discussing the EAG International Expo rebrand, Martin Burlin, Chairman of EAG Expo, explained: "Bacta started EAG as an important event for the traditional coin-operated games market, and as the markets evolve we have responded, expanded and rebranded it to become a key event for the entire leisure and amusements industry."

"EAG International Expo now offers amazing new opportunities for all companies involved in leisure and amusements to be heard and seen by the entire industry, in one place."

Exhibitors at the EAG International can take advantage of a full schedule of seminars, with insights from leading leisure industry speakers, as well as opportunities to utilise the Expo’s media channels in order to promote their businesses to a wide range of press across the UK and worldwide.

For information on how to book and ensure optimum stand positioning for EAG 2020, potential exhibitors should contact Karen Cooke of Swan Events:
