As the marketing campaign for November’s Macao Gaming Show (MGS) enters its final phase, Jay Chun, Chairman of the Macau Gaming Equipment Manufacturers Association, organisers of the event whose mission statement is ‘By Asia For The World’, believes that the key drivers behind the MGS success story is its independent status and its ability to represent the Asia gaming community with integrity and authority.
Expanding on why he believes MGS is the leading event of its kind in Asia Mr. Chun said: “Fundamentally MGS is the only show that is truly representative of the Asian gaming industry. You just have to look at our panel of event organisers, supporting organisations and co-organisers which include Macau Gaming Equipment Manufacturers Association (MGEMA), Direcção de Inspecção e Coordenação de Jogos (DICJ), Macau Trade and Investment Institute (IPIM), General Association of Administrators and Promoters for Macau Gaming Industry, Associação de Mediadores de Jogos e Entretenimento de Macau, Macau Jockey Club, Macau Slot , and Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Company Ltd to see how authentic our credentials are.”
He added: “With respect to other organisations, the MGS organisers are part of the fabric of Macau and not from the United States or Europe. Those behind MGS are considered ‘insiders’ of the Asian gaming industry and will be heavily supported by the regional players. There will be Asian gaming executives at MGS that wouldn’t go to other shows that are perceived as being organised by ‘outsiders’. An exhibition is nothing without exhibitors and visitors will have access to the very best exponents in their fields. We will also have events and features including the Slot Experience Centre as well as the Macao Gaming Summit both of which provide powerful additional reasons to attend. Simply MGS is by Asia and it is designed to appeal to the world!”
Organisers have confirmed that as of October 8th, the MGS 2014 floorplan features a contracted list of 122 exhibitors drawn from Asia and beyond, a figure which represents a substantial 20% year-on-year increase. In addition to receiving widespread commercial and government support from within Macau, MGS has also attracted a distinguished international line-up of thought leaders who will be appearing at the Macao Gaming Summit. The three day conference will be focussing on key gaming topics and how they impact both established and emerging nations including Japan, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea, Sri Lanka as well as Macao.
