The cancellation of the annual entertainment industry event, the IAAPA show in Orlando, USA in November has left many operators struggling to source the latest innovations for their businesses, a point recognised by some suppliers who have held webinars. 20 of the main amusement industry suppliers held a virtual prodcuct shop wondow on November 19 and come together for the Amusement 360 Innovation Showcase. It was a single event where a newcomer to the industry, or an established operator, can see live product demonstrations, meet face-to-face with suppliers in a virtual platform and conduct research for their business.

The companies participating in this event are Creative Works, Amusement Products, Betson, CenterEdge Software, Cornerstone Architecture, Delta Strike, Embed, Galaxy Multi Rides, Hownd, Laserblast, Laserforce, Mini Melts, Party Center Software, Player One Amusement Group, QubicaAMF, Redemption Plus, SafePark USA, Shaffer Distributing, SureShot, Trainertainment, United Play and Zone Laser Tag.

Danny Gruening, vice president of marketing at Creative Works, said: “Some operators are making purchases and expanding, but others are not quite ready yet. However, in both cases, this is the right time for business research and planning. We felt that it is important to work with our partners to create this event to make the process easy and engaging.” If you would like to know more about the event, you can register at www.amusement360.com/showcase for free.
