With organisers promising a sharp increase in exhibitors, the Autumn Coin-Op Show will return to Chelsea Football Club in London, UK, on October 11-12.

ACOS organisers predict larger show

Show Organiser Karen Cooke explains: “The show was created to serve our industry and was born out of requests for a relaxed and informal event at which industry members could compare notes on the summer’s trading and view products scheduled for release in the New Year.

“ACOS’s year on year growth is proof that the formula is working, but it’s really important that we stay true to the show’s character. Chelsea Football Club’s excellent facilities and convenient location have contributed a great deal to the show and this year we’ve worked closely with the venue to free-up additional floor space for new exhibitors. We’ve also added another bar and re-designed the seating areas for improved visitor flow,” revealed Cooke.

For 2017, first-time exhibitors will include Astrosystems, Instance Automatics, Whitehouse Leisure International and Storm Gaming Technology.

Instance Automatics’ Ian Eason said: “We decided to do the ACOS show as we now have more equipment aimed at the brewery and inland operating environment. We’re aware that ACOS has a strong appeal to this sector.

“Among the great range of machines on our stand will be UNIS’s Lane Master, our number one seller and income generator. We will also be previewing the UNIS Omni VR Arena, a new kind of virtual reality experience that allows full freedom of movement in the game and full body control of the experience.”

For many, ACOS’s strength is in the networking opportunity so, as with previous years the first day will be rounded-off with the ACOS after show networking event, which will take place at Frankie’s sports bar and diner, just yards from the exhibition floor.
