Every year, industry professionals and amusement product makers come together to showcase their latest ideas and services all over the world. These trade shows serve as excellent marketing and networking events, allowing entrepreneurs the chance to get their hands on the latest amusement & arcade products that are hitting the market.
With the economic crisis that unfolded in early 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of events were canceled or postponed their expos into 2021. Since it is still a volatile situation, changes can happen without much notice, but we will strive to keep it up-to-date.
Note that on some of the shows listed below, some many only have a small industry presence, while others are entirely focused on what we do; PrimeTime Amusements also attends the larger events as is possible/warranted. See our booth from IAAPA 2019 here!
Note: Places & dates can change without notice; please refer to each show’s website for up-to-date news. The following information is presented as “to the best of our knowledge.” LAST UPDATE: OCTOBER 2021 SOME CHANGES!
