With just four months to go until IMA 2012 takes place, preparations are now in full swing and stand bookings are off to a promising start with firm reservations from all the key players in the German industry.
According to Petra Lassahn from the organiser’s team: "We continue to pursue our ambitious goal of 200 exhibiting companies and visitors will be pleased that booking tickets for the 2012 show has been simplified further, offering attractive deals."
New for the 2012 show is a focus on online gaming. Rapid growth in online gaming is forecast across Europe and IMA will offer exhibitors from this field an all-inclusive package comprising the most important services for trade fair participation.
As bowling centres continue to be integrated with amusement arcades and increase in numbers in across Europe, Bowling World will complement the traditional gaming range on show at IMA, with a special exhibition area for the fourth year in a row. The 2012 show will offer manufacturers and distributors of bowling alleys and accessories a central industry meeting place.
January’s show will also see Coffee World make another appearance following its successful introduction this year and will display an entire range of coffee products, machines and accessories. The concept, according to the organisers, opens the exhibition up to new markets. The Service Solution Village will also make a second appearance in 2012, offering exhibitors a platform to present products from a large range of service areas such as credit card systems, insurance or facility management.
