Is there such a thing as too many conventions? Industry expert Kevin Williams joins us to humorously question the avalanche of trade shows in the location-based entertainment world. From the AMOA Gala to the Tokyo Game Show, we explore whether businesses are stretched too thin with the sheer volume of events. Are we sacrificing quality for quantity? Vendors face the daunting task of attending these numerous gatherings, and we tackle the tough questions surrounding brand building, international expansion, and even the potential health risks like COVID. Kevin brings his unique perspective to the table, sparking a lively debate on the necessity for diversity versus standardization in these industry meet-ups.
On the forefront of innovation, we venture into the thrilling crossroads of tech and entertainment. Autonomous serving machines, trackless dark ride systems, and gamification are just the tip of the iceberg as we spotlight the latest trends reshaping entertainment venues. Take a journey with us through the impressive advances in Asian amusement facilities and their potential to inspire Western markets. We’ll also discuss the economic viability of multi-seat VR systems and reveal how new venues, like Butlins’ social hub, are breaking new ground in leisure activities. From Sega’s strategic pivots to Taito’s restructuring, we dissect the shifting dynamics that demand adaptability from operators. Tune in and get ready to navigate a landscape brimming with change and opportunity.
