The countdown to EAG International 2013 has begun, with 1 October 2012 seeing the opening of online registration for a show which has grown to become a keynote event for leisure and amusement industry professionals.

The event opens on 22 January 2013 at London's ExCel and, according to Show Organiser Karen Cooke, forward bookings are excellent. "Overall sale of stand space is progressing well with enquiries reflecting the broader base of the show and the additional support of BALPPA members," she says.

Exhibitors at the show will be supported by a comprehensive marketing and advertising campaign, employing direct mail, social media and extensive promotional coverage from more than 40 supporting publications, associations and newswires. Karen also confirms that the show's popular seminar programme will continue to develop as a forum for sharing knowledge and ideas.

Those registering early online for EAG International 2013 will benefit from a speedy entrance into the exhibition, subsequently receiving additional information bulletins about special offers and events in the run up to the show. Karen adds that early online registration benefits both visitors and organisers.

"We would advise visitors to register early and to plan and book their travel and accommodation at the same time. Our website has excellent links which will simplify this process," she explains. "It's important to us that a visit to EAG International Expo is as productive and stress-free as possible and early online registration plays an important part in this."

Online registration takes place at www.eagexpo.com, from which further details can also be obtained. Alternatively, please contact Karen Cooke on +44 (0)1582 767254
