Transylvania – 27 June, 2018 (Press Release) – The gaming industry is now witnessing a huge growth and expansion, slowly bringing to life its own mainstream media channels. The CNN or BBC of the gambling industry is yet to be discovered, however, many of the gaming media outlets are taking things as seriously and bringing quality reporting around our industry.

In a long run it will pay off to be the most read source of an entire industry and some are using experienced journalist to bring catching stories to their audience.

The list of possibilities for media investors as well as event organizers is endless! The result is already seen as more and more media outlets are popping up and the events calendar is getting pretty crowded.

The question here is, can the B2B sector keep up with and bring innovation that is worth writing about or if they have the budgets to balance a year round event calendar. This is also the subject for media outlets, as they need to provide a good angle of the stories and news they share on a daily basis to help increase the visibility of the industry.

As part of the gaming events sector, we have also seen an increase in the printed magazine volumes which are spread across the conferences. While some publishers have this as a secondary option, to complete the advertising offering, others are sticking only to print.

While media companies focus on delivering quality content digitally, the costs of printing might have a negative impact on the revenues. We must also add that paper, which was developed in China ages ago, is wasted yearly in millions of tons.

Paper should be saved because it takes around seventeen full grown trees to make one ton of paper. Trees, as we know, are important to maintain a balance of nature. Therefore, in order to save trees and prevent the impact of their loss on living organisms, we need to save paper. Saving trees is good for the environment, thus has a positive effect on the global climate.

Besides the tree saving, there are numerous reports that indicate that even the production.

The European Environmental Paper Network (EEPN) presented preliminary findings that give a strong indication of the climate impacts of paper use and the need to reduce carbon emissions through paper efficiency. The huge energy requirements for paper production raises important questions about biomass related issues. (read the full report here…)

Starting October, EEGReport Magazine will publish the first “hybrid” magazine of the gambling industry which will be a mixture on print and digital content.

The hybrid magazine will contain only 16 pages, out of which 6 will be dedicated for adverts and 10 for the featured interviews and reports.

The new layout is designed to cut the costs of advertising and protect nature, by also being much easier to distribute.

Main reason to subscribe or advertise:

access exclusive market insights from local industry experts
available at all important conferences
eco-friendly
low advertising costs
updating adverts
comes out twice per year

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.

Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.

Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.

“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”

Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”

January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
