A contract covering the next five years has been signed by the three trade associations in the US – a deal that includes the annual Amusement Expo, held in recent years in Las Vegas.
The American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA), the Amusement and Music Operators Association (AMOA) and the National Bulk Vendors Association (NBVA) signed the agreement this week.
The three organisations will co-locate in one event, as they have since 2011, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The shows will have complimentary access to one-another’s event. AMOA and AAMA have for many years combined their events into one, but with the bulk vending show at the same location it is felt that there is increased appeal.
Traditionally held in March, the Amusement Expo is now regarded as second only to IAAPA in the US domestic market. Next year’s show will be held in Las Vegas, but it moves to Dallas, Texas, in 2017.
