The 2025 edition of Eag Expo incorporating the London Casino and Gaming Show and the Social Immersive Entertainment Expo opened today (14 January) at ExCeL London.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The expanded show features 96 exhibitors  occupying 100 stands and 4,958sqm of space.<\/p>\n

Alongside the latest innovations  from many of the industry’s best known brands operators have access to a targeted seminar programme including the Bacta Pub Summit, a presentation by Euromat<\/strong> entitled Creating a Compelling Customer Experience and a session led by Better Change the go to organisation for the prevention of gambling harm. The Better Change seminar will highlight the actionable strategies and the tool kit that’s available to operators to advocate for positive play and create sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

The 2025 show marks the end of Martin Burlin’s tenure as Eag Chairman<\/strong>, a period during which he launched Eag, navigated the challenges presented by Covid-19 and introduced  the co-located London Casino and Gaming Show and the Social Immersive Entertainment Expo. Reflecting on Martin’s contribution to the show incoming Chairman, Nick Harding<\/strong> said: "Eag owners Bacta has been in existence for over fifty years.  For fifteen of those years Martin Burlin has been Chairing the show and for several years before that he was on the Board of ATEI: so you could say that if you broke him in half it would say Bacta trade show down the middle!
\n"Martin has decided that now is the time for him to step back from the tumult<\/strong> and It goes without saying that he will be an extremely hard act to follow." <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
