EAG Expo opens in London
The 2026 edition of EAG Expo incorporating the co-located SIE Expo, and the London Casino & Gaming Show opened today (13th January) at ExCeL London. Described by EAG Chairman Nick Harding as being a ‘non-negotiable date in the diary’ the business exhibition consists of a record 105 exhibitors drawn from 11 nations.
Speaking at the ribbon cutting which featured John Stergides of Electrocoin – a supporter of EAG and its predecessor ATEI since 1977 - and Simon Fox, founder of first-time exhibitor, Robobike, Nick Harding said: “One of the strengths of EAG is its enduring appeal and its ability to connect with innovative new enterprises such as Robobike who are exhibiting for the first time.”
He added: “EAG represents a phenomenal opportunity for the industry to reset and we are looking forward to continuing the growth in attendance which has seen numbers increase by 69% since 2022. EAG is where the industry starts the year and where manufacturers unveil the products that will shape the next 12-months.”
Alongside a show floor of innovation EAG Expo features a free to attend seminar programme comprising 23 streams drawing on the expert insight of some 50-speakers from both inside and outside the industry.
All of the seminars have been curated to deliver tangible take-outs informed by experts in their respective fields.
