the legendary exhibition RETURN
The International specialized exhibition “GAMING INDUSTRY” was launched in 1994 under the name “ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY” and very soon according to the survey of one of the most reputable publications in the field of gaming business – the UK magazine “InterGame” – was placed in the rank of the top seven world events of this subject.
But in 2009, despite the veto of the President of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine has adopted a law which completely banned gambling in Ukraine. According to experts, this act had grave consequences for Ukraine – the closure of approximately 200,000 jobs and significant losses to the Ukrainian budget up to 3.5 billion hryvnias per year.
At last, in 2020 Ukraine has adopted a law that allowed the organization of legal gambling in the country and brought it out of shadows.
Thus on June the legendary exhibition is back with a huge sucess!
Venue: International Exhibition Center (15 Brovarsky Ave., Kyiv) Number of visitors:1879 Number of exhibitors: 52 exhibitors from 14 countires
🇦🇹🇧🇬🇬🇧🇪🇦🇮🇹🇱🇻🇱🇺🇲🇹🇩🇪🇵🇱🇷🇸🇸🇮🇨🇿🇺🇦
Within the framework of the exhibition were held:
International Conferece “Gaming and entertainment business in Ukraine: RELOADING”
Sports Poker Tournaments (organized by PokerMatch)
Round table: «Gaming Business in Ukraine – Dialogue Between the State and Business»
Gaming Industry Expo is a very good for networking and making new business partners. We also got good quality leads from new potential customers. Overall a very good show.
Michael Boettcher
Founder
Everything is better than I expected. Many international companies are represented at the exhibition and they all came here for one simple reason – they believe in the future of gambling market in Ukraine.
Tamara Golubchik
General Director
We see excellent equipment from the best European manufacturers here. From this point of view, of course, we like the exhibition. But it is not as large-scale as usual, as we are used to seeing, but this is just the first step, and it is successful.
Sakis Isaakidis
Chief Executive, International
Considering the mountain of difficulties that the organisers had to climb just to ensure that Gaming Industry Expo went ahead, the success that the show clearly was made a fitting tribute to all their hard work. We are back, live shows are back and visitors, customers and business partners are back! Gaming Industry Expo marks the re-opening of the industry, live and in action, and it gives us all a very real expectation that better times are coming!
Dimitar Muhovsky
Development Director
I would like to thank the organizers of the GAMING INDUSTRY exhibition who did their best. The organization is at an excellent level, as if this exhibition did not have such a break at 11 years. The organization is really very good, the conditions are good for everyone here, both for the visitors and for the participants. So the atmosphere is great!
Igor Makievsky
Head
The exhibition took place and this is definitely a fact. This is the first exhibition that marks the opening of the gaming market in Ukraine and it is most important that the market is launched. Manufacturers have the opportunity to meet for the first time in such a professional format at the exhibition and discuss, exchange views, offer their products and services. This is definitely the most positive step that will contribute to the development of a civilized gambling market in Ukraine.
