SUPPLIER SPECIAL REPORT 40
AGE INTRO
AGE to share digital delights For the first time in 30 years, the Australasian Gaming Expo will not be filling the floors of the International Convention Center in Sydney’s beautiful Darling Harbour.
T
he event joins a growing list of exhibitions that have been forced to postpone their activities to the following calendar year. With more than 8,000 delegates expected to attend the 2020 event, it’s of little surprise at this point that the show had been canceled. Although the 31st AGE won’t be happening until next August, organizers remain committed to connecting buyers with sellers, experts with operators. Once again, Asia Gaming Brief has been selected to deliver the Australasian Gaming Seminars, a threeday digital conference program aimed at exploring the latest developments in the Australasian gaming market. On 11th August, delegates hear from Australia’s leading gaming analysts who explore how they see consumer discretionary spending changing in the years to come, along with how the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Australasian gaming industry from a financial perspective.

On 12th August, delegates will be given an exclusive video tour of SkyCity’s Auckland venue – one of the first gaming venues in the region to reopen amid COVID-19. We hear about how they’ve seen customer demand change from the onset – what challenges have been experienced in their venues and their advice for the Australian market. On 13th August, we hear from customer service expert and professional speaker Michelle Pascoe, delivering an inspiring presentation on re-delighting the post-pandemic customer. The AGE Digital Seminars will also share the results of the Australasian Gaming Survey: Covid-19 Response, a nationwide survey sent to clubs and pubs across Australia aiming to explore how businesses have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the strategies employed to mitigate its impact. In the following pages, we also highlight some of the more innovative products and solutions being offered by suppliers in response to the crisis.
