Ian Donegan reports back from the IAAPA Expo in Orlando.
IN the introduction to InterGame’s IAAPA Expo preview in our November issue, we spoke of the nine miles of aisles and the requirement of Olympic-level stamina that’s needed for the daily half marathon, running purely on caffeine and adrenaline, to cover this 101-year-old show. Well, post-show, we can report that it was just that.
An estimated 38,000 visitors, including more than 24,000 decisions-makers and buyers from more than 100 countries, swarmed the carpeted byways of the Orange Country Convention Centre, both inside and out, and while the official numbers hadn’t been released at the time of writing, one would be surprised if they hadn’t increased, as they seem to do year on year.
