NZ Gaming Expo Designed to Entertain

The Gaming Technologies Association (GTA) is inviting New Zealand’s

hospitality executives to attend a complimentary exhibition and conference at

the Christchurch Convention Centre from 10am until 5pm on Wednesday 1st and

Thursday 2nd April 2009.

GTA’s Chief Executive, Ross Ferrar, said that gaming machines are designed

to entertain – and that the New Zealand Gaming Expo will showcase many

entertainment features. "A who’s-who list of suppliers are exhibiting their

latest and finest products and services, including GTA members Ainsworth,

Aristocrat, Global Gaming, IGT, Konami and Stargames" he said.

"In addition we’re very pleased that renowned sport, business and life

coach Bruno Maestro has agreed to provide a keynote conference presentation.

All Black legend, Stu Wilson will take on former Wallaby Peter FitzSimons,

quite possibly reigniting few rivalries – and outrageously irreverent social

commentator Joe Bennett will no doubt chip in with his two bob’s worth.

"Entertainment is the name of the game but some very important business and

technology issues are also on the agenda, with leading industry figures

battling it out with their views on where the industry is (and is not) heading,

both in New Zealand and around the world."
