American Amusement Machine Association AAMA

AAMA EATS UP AT 2005 INTERNATIONAL PIZZA EXPO

For three days in late March, the city of Las Vegas, not Chicago, was the best place in the United States to find a slice of good pizza as the International Pizza Expo took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center on March 29-April 1, 2005.

This year's International Pizza Expo featured nearly 500 exhibitors and almost 900 booths. There were more than 300 different product categories represented, ranging from pizza toppings to costumes to snow cone machines. In addition to the amazing variety of excellent buffalo wings and pizza to sample, there were numerous competitions to watch and participate in, including the Italian Chef Wars, the World Pizza Games, and Freestyle Acrobatics.

The coin-op industry was well represented at the 2005 International Pizza Expo. Joining the AAMA in its pavilion were several member companies including Andamiro USA Corporation, Bay-Tek, Inc., Namco America Inc., Rock-Ola Manufacturing, SEGA Amusements USA, Inc., and Stern Pinball, Inc. Other AAMA member companies that exhibited at this year's show but were not a part of the association's pavilion included Marshall Productions and Team Play, Inc. The AAMA booth had heavy traffic throughout the duration of the show, and was kept busy handing out member directories and acquiring over 120 leads from attendees interested in coin-op games.

The 2006 International Pizza Expo will be held March 14-16, 2006, once again at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Due to a one-day overlap between the Pizza Expo and ASI, the AAMA industry promotion committee decided not to include next year's pizza show on the location trade show calendar. For those of you interested in exhibiting on your own, please contact Vanessa Cabrera in the AAMA office at 847.290.9088.

The next event on the AAMA's 2005-2006 LTS calendar is the National Bulk Vending Association Show, which will take place at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida on April 21-24, 2005. Following that show, the AAMA will be exhibiting at the 2005 National Restaurant Hotel/Motel Show, which will be held May 21-24, 2005 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.

As part of an AAMA member benefit, the association sent out its leads via e-mail to its entire membership. If you did not receive these leads please contact Christy Maes at 847.290.9088 or via e-mail at: cmaes@coin-op.org and she will be happy to e-mail you the leads acquired at the show.

On behalf of the AAMA, we would like to thank our member companies for supporting the LTS program and for making this year's International Pizza Expo coin-op pavilion a big success!
