Orland
Park, IL –
Amusement Showcase International 2006 Survey results indicated that more than 50% of ASI Exhibitors rated “Quality of Traffic” as “Good” or “Excellent”. Hometown exhibitor, Stern Pinball, reported on their survey “they saw more export customers and operators from the East Coast and Midwest than at previous shows.” A similar reaction came from the Fun Company booth. Their survey response read, “ Chicago is an excellent location. It’s central for East and West Coast vendors.” Mike added, “Many of the exhibitors had an excellent show, especially with post-show follow-up. The survey overwhelmingly indicated exhibitors wanted to try Chicago again next year.” Comments such as those from Stern and the Fun Company were echoed over and over again in the comments area of the survey. Show Committee Chairman, Sal
Mirando (Coastal Amusements), commented; ASI , now in its 21st year, is the annual spring trade show for the coin-operated amusement industry. It is solely owned and operated by the American Amusement Machine Association, the international trade association for manufacturers and distributors of coin-operated equipment, located in Elk Grove Village Illinois For more information about exhibiting or attending, contact ASI Show Management, William T.

will be held next year in Chicago Illinois March 16-18, 2006 , at the
Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel. Based on information received from a survey taken
by Show Management, W. T. Glasgow, Inc., and comments from exhibitors and
attendees alike, the consensus was to have it again next year in the Windy
City. Based on the results of the survey, the show has been moved later into
March, which hopefully will bring a bit more cooperation from Mother Nature,
and also will not conflict with other shows that will be taking place,
specifically the Night Club and Bar Show and ASD/AMD. In addition to the later
dates not conflicting with other shows, attendees and exhibitors to ASI 2006
will be able to experience St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago! On March
17th, everyone is Irish in Chicago! From the
annual St. Patrick’s Day parade scheduled for Friday, March 17, 2006, to the
very Irish-green-colored Chicago River, to the
green beer being served everywhere – you will experience St. Patrick’s Day like
you never have before. Mike Rudowicz, President of the American Amusement
Machine Association, stated, “The timing should be perfect because of the great
atmosphere Chicago has for
St. Patrick’s Day.”
“Based on
input from exhibitors and attendees, we decided to have the show once again in Chicago . Attendees
overwhelmingly approved the social aspect of the show – having everyone in the
Hyatt was reminiscent of the heyday in the coin-op business. The bar scene in
the Hyatt was especially active and brought many of the attendees together.
Given all of the input and general feeling of everyone who attended the show,
we made the decision to have it once again in Chicago
