'Best Show in a Decade!' - Amusement Expo 2016 Las Vegas NV

Amusement Expo 2016 was the best AE in the past 10 years. There was a lot of excitement and plenty of new products and technologies introduced. Not counting any exhibitors I estimate that there were 1350 buyers and 27% of them attended the 1-Day seminar program. And that does not count the 80+ buyers that attended the Laser Tag Convention seminars. That is an amazing participation rate and shows that there is a huge thirst for knowledge. The industry acknowledges that ‘it is time to raise the bar and change is necessary.’

It took me two full days at Amusement Expo to do 68 video interviews that are now posted on YouTube. It took another three weeks for us to edit the videos and make sure that all of the company names, interviewees, and titles are correct, who was on the right and who was on the left, and as much background noise as possible was reduced (just like they do on the television series CSI-we do not have their capabilities).

Here is a list of those 62 special companies that were interviewed during Amusement Expo:

Thank you all for being guinea pigs and giving me the opportunity to do this. Peter Betti, Betson Chairman, was first and did a great interview. We got better as we went along but we also got tired and you can see a little shake in the camera and a few stutters from me. Thanks also to AAMA and AMOA show committees for making Amusement Expo a 2-day show and having a full day of seminars the day before. A special thanks to WT Glasgow Trade Show Management (Brian Glasgow and his Team) for making it all happen.
