The Australasian Hospitality & Gaming Expo is the definitive annual gathering for the hospitality, gaming, and leisure sectors in the Southern Hemisphere. This massive, free-to-attend, trade-only event brings together over thousands of industry professionals and hundreds of exhibitors for two days of high-level networking and product discovery in a central hub for venue operators looking to modernise their offerings and improve their bottom line.

Beyond the trade floor, the expo is the centrepiece of a week-long series of events, including the AHG Congress and various networking functions that facilitate deep industry connections. Whether you are showcasing the latest in electronic gaming machines, revolutionary kitchen tech, or sophisticated fintech solutions, the Australasian Hospitality & Gaming Expo provides a professional yet vibrant atmosphere to secure high-value contracts. In an industry where patron experience is everything, this event is where the future of Australian venues is decided.

• Reach a concentrated audience of CEOs, directors, and general managers from major clubs, pubs, and casinos across Australia and New Zealand. This event eliminates the gatekeepers, giving you a direct line to the people with the purchasing power to transform their venues.
• Exhibitors have the perfect platform to demonstrate how their new products solve current industry pressures. Providing a hands-on experience allows potential buyers to see exactly how your technology integrates into their existing operations.

These face-to-face interactions are essential for fostering the long-term trust required in the hospitality and gaming sectors.

• Position your business alongside global industry leaders, reinforcing your brand’s status as a top-tier supplier. Being visible at the Australasian Hospitality & Gaming Expo signals to the market that your company is a serious, committed player in the Australasian hospitality landscape.

Tips for Exhibitors

• Prioritise hands-on interactions and let visitors pull a pint from your new tap system or test the ergonomics of your venue seating.
• Stand out by offering high-quality snacks or professional-grade coffee, turning your stand into a mini-destination that mirrors the quality of your prospects.
• Prepare for technical questions and ensure your booth staff can discuss API integrations, data security, and real-time reporting features in detail.
• Use the AHG cocktail party vibe to your advantage by hosting a brief demo or a prize draw at a specific time to drive a concentrated rush of traffic to your stand.
• If you have multiple shows in a year, pick reliable displays that move with you. From lightboxes to non-illuminated frames, and from foldable and fabric tube types to modular displays for your event needs.
