New ARE – New ERA

With many events catering to traditional operators, ARE organiser Swan Events wants to highlight the changing landscape of the UK leisure, retail, and gaming sectors – and what this means for the industry.

Competitive socialising within the pub retail sector, entertainment centres within shopping complexes, evolving modern AGC and LBO environments, and a greater focus on player engagement through technology, loyalty systems, and more will form the focus of this new event.

ARE is targeting:

  • Arcade and single site operations looking for fresh ideas and expansion opportunities
  • Forward thinking gaming operations looking for the latest products
  • Retail pub leisure and brewery machine management professionals
  • Newcomers with a location looking for a new revenue stream
  • Those in the sector wondering how technology can streamline operations and safeguard against future legislation
  • Local authorities seeking a greater understanding of the sector

Learn

A brand-new seminar programme will cover the trends and technologies that will shape the future of our industry. Leading speakers from every sector will discuss the key issues of the day.

Discover

New products, new services, and new companies – discover the equipment and services that will take your business forward.

Network
