[LONDON, 19th December, 2024] – The momentum continues for the January SIE Expo event in London, with the announcement that trade associations in the social entertainment industry have come on board to support the effort. Promoting the show with an extensive seminar session over two days that will see industry leaders sharing their knowledge.

It was announced that the “SIE Expo Seminar” will be held on the show floor, with a special stage theatre erected for the occasion. Sessions over two days will cover the key tenets of the SIE Expo event, covering social entertainment, amusement and the leisure landscape pertaining to eSports, XR and Competitive Socialising.

Panel sessions will see speakers from Hero Zone, Frontgrid, 501 Entertainment, and SEGA Amusements International to name a few. At the same time SIE EXpo media partners that are supporting the trade gathering include services such as Blooloop, Coinslot International, Intergame and the Stinger Report.

Show ambassador, Kevin Williams has curated the sessions and will moderate – offering his unique take on the growth of this sector during the sessions. Commenting on his role, “I look forward to inviting such a wealth of experience onto the stage and will endeavor to have our guest supply the audience the information needed to grow in these emerging sectors of the market.”

Along with this news, the ‘Social Immersive Entertainment Expo’ (SIE), revealed the schedule of a “meet the speakers” mixer that will take place at the end of the first day of the event. Delegates and attendees of the seminar sessions will be invited to drinks and snacks to share ideas and meet firsthand those presenting. A valuable opportunity for those attending the seminars to put their questions in person.

Show Director for EAG Expo and SIE Ex, Nicola Lazenby stated that “this is an amazing opportunity for delegates to experience the impact and excitement of social entertainment directly from the show floor.  The team and I, along with EAG Expo Chairman, Martin Burlin,  want to thank those executives that have confirmed they will be presenting at the event and we look forward to welcoming them, along with the seminar attendees, to the event.”.
