New ARE – New ERA
The Amusement & Retail Entertainment (ARE) Expo, to be held for the first time in Manchester in April 2025, will focus on new opportunities for the amusement and gaming sectors.
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
