AGE Plans To Go Ahead As Scheduled

The Australasian Gaming Expo (AGE) has stated it will go ahead as planned from August 10 till 12 inclusive even thou at present New South Wales where the event is taking place is still in a lockdown due to a new COVID outbreak.

Hosted by the Gaming Technologies Association (GTA) said that at present they have 240 exhibitors including leading global brands such as IGT, Ainsworth, Aristocrat and Scientific Games, which is held at the International Convention Centre Sydney.

The company said in a statement confirming the event: “Sydney is halfway through two weeks of stay-at-home restrictions, but recent lockdowns outside New South Wales show governments are committed to reopening businesses quickly once the lockdowns are lifted.”

“Our number one priority is the health, safety and well-being of our exhibitors, visitors, delegates, contractors and venue staff”, said Chris Muir, CEO of GTA.

The AGE is not expecting any overseas visitors this year because of the travel ban still in place by the Australian government towards any foreign travel except for emergencies.
