IAAPA 2008 Post Show Review

he IAAPA Expo 2008 was held last week in Orlando Florida at the Orange County Convention Centre November 18th – 21st.

The overall traffic might have been a bit lighter than previous years due to the slowdown in the U.S. economy. Like many exhibitors, UNIS went in not quite knowing what to expect, but the show turned out to be a great show for us! We have had some quality meetings with new and old clients who expressed great interest in our new 2009 lines.

We also received a lot of positive feedback on games such as Jungle Drummer, Boogie Down, Cyber Ticket and Heads or Tails. Among the games brought, X-Ball turned out to be a surprise hit of the show! We received numerous inquiries about this game. The touch-screen technology combined with the overall presentation of the game attracted much attention from both local and international attendees alike.

UNIS also launched a new kiddy ride with monitor: the Mini Police Car, it is similar to our Police Rider but smaller in size and with new improvements. This piece was a clear favorite amongst younger kids. Family Bowl remains strong in the bowling simulation category.

UNIS will be launching more new lines at the ATEI show in London, leading all the way to ASI show in Las Vegas.

We will be providing more information over the next few weeks, up until January’s ATEI which will kick start the new fiscal year in 2009.

A big “Thank You” to all our clients for their continuous support despite these turbulent times.
