First ever family entertainment centre trade show set for this October

In recent years family entertainment centres have been booming with the first ever trade show dedicated entirely to the flourishing sector taking place this October.

The insightful event titled ShowUp has been designed and will be hosted by top virtual reality expert Bob Cooney, who will be joined by a range of world-leading experts in the family entertainment centre industry. 

Visitors will be treated to keynote sessions from the CEOs of Two-Bit Circus, Game-Co and White Hutchinson Learning and Leisure Group.

A range of interactive platforms will be available at the three-day event, as well as delving into workshops, case studies and panel discussions. There also promises to be plenty of opportunity to network with the industry’s leading professionals in the Reception and Expo Hall.

The focal point of the event is for family entertainment centres to learn strategies to increase revenue and profits, as well as gaining the best insights into changing consumer needs, as the industry hits a bump in the road with COVID-19.

Advancing tools such as 5G, VR, photogrammetry and social media will be explored, as well as how they can be utilised to maximise experience potential.

ShowUp is taking place October 27 – 29. A range of admission packages are available, which can be viewed online.

Elsewhere, a new Nickelodeon-themed family entertainment centre is launching in Shenzen China.
