NZ Gaming Expo moves to Christchurch for 2009

MEDIA RELEASE

29 July 2008: for immediate release

The New Zealand Gaming Expo will be held at the Christchurch Convention Centre in 2009 according to the Australasian Gaming Machine Manufacturers Association (“AGMMA”).

“After 3 successful annual events in Auckland, our Board felt that the time is now right to shift the focus for this national Expo to another major centre in New Zealand” said AGMMA’s Chief Executive Officer, Ross Ferrar. “The Christchurch Convention Centre is a superb facility for this type of event and is supplemented by great accommodation and hospitality facilities nearby.

“The last few Gaming Expos have showcased the best available equipment at top-drawer trade exhibitions, along with Gaming Conferences addressed by memorable presenters who really left their mark on the audience.

“And as a special bonus for New Zealand’s gaming executives, entry to the conference as well as the exhibition will be complimentary for bona fide representatives of Gaming Industry Organisations.

“Planning is already well under way and we’re pleased to announce that long-time rugby rivals – Eric Rush and Peter FitzSimons – have accepted our invitation to speak at the Conference.

Eric Rush, former All-Black, current Rugby Sevens captain, barrister and businessman is also a very entertaining and motivational speaker in his own right. He talks about the parallels of coaching for excellence, in business and sport.

Peter FitzSimons played 7 Tests for the Wallabies. He is a well respected newspaper columnist, television presenter on Fox Sports, speaks four languages, has co-hosted several radio shows, interviewed famous people around the globe from George Bush to Diego Maradona and written eighteen best-selling books.

The Gaming Conference will operate from 9am on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd April; and the trade exhibition will be open from 12 noon until 5 pm on both days.

Gaming Conference features Communication and Sport

Media Release

28 July 2008: for immediate release

The Australasian Gaming Expo Conference sessions on 24 August 2008 will feature communication and sport, according to the Australasian Gaming Machine Manufacturers Association (“AGMMA”).

“Our focus for the first day of the 3-day conference is firstly, how people communicate and secondly, a look at how two true sporting legends feel about life and business” said AGMMA’s Chief Executive Officer, Ross Ferrar.

Allan & Barbara Pease are Australia’s most successful publishing team and they specialise in communications topics including ‘Body Language’ series and ‘How to be a People Magnet’. Their inspirational products boost personal and organisational growth around the globe – and this inspiration will be brought to the Gaming Conference audience in Allan’s rousing presentation.

Local marketing specialist Peter Capp will also look at communication, with a local neighbourhood focus. Peter specialises in connecting with your local market, which is particularly important in these tough economic times.

Sporting legends Mark Taylor AO and Sir Richard Hadlee will look at ‘Playing the Game’.

The influential international cricket bible Wisden saluted Mark Taylor on his retirement as ‘the greatest modern day captain’. Sir Richard Hadlee was one of the greatest all rounders in the history of cricket, as he captured 431 test wickets & scored over 3000 test runs.

Their last Test cricket match together was in 1990 – a match won by New Zealand. Taylor lbw to Hadlee for 5 runs was the result and there’s no doubt that old rivalries will be rekindled during this one-on-one showdown, to be hosted by ‘Tan José’ of Thank God You’re Here fame – so anything could happen!

The Australasian Gaming Expo, now in its 19th year, is renowned as the region’s premier annual gaming occasion for the Hospitality Industry. Comprising a trade exhibition and the Gaming Conference, the event is held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour. Entry to both the trade exhibition and the Gaming Conference is complimentary for representatives of Gaming Industry Organisations.
