A total of 80 percent of the exhibition space available for the 2017 edition of the Australasian Gaming Expo (AGE) has already been sold – nine months before the event takes place – says Ross Ferrar, chief executive of the event organiser, the Gaming Technologies Association.

The casino and gaming industry trade event will move to a new home for AGE 2017. It will be held from August 15 to 17 inclusive, and the total area dedicated to the 2017 show amounts to 19,000 square metres (204,500 sq feet), according to the organiser.

On Friday, 120 of the exhibitors due to attend the 2017 edition were given a guided tour of the fresh location – the newly-built International Convention Centre Sydney (pictured) at Darling Harbour in Sydney, New South Wales.

Visitor attendance for this year’s edition of AGE was the highest in the 27-year history of the event, according to figures from the organisers.

The three-day gathering welcomed a total of 6,813 visitors and 195 exhibitors, the organisers had stated shortly after the show.

Online visitor registration for AGE 2017 is already open.
