Gauselmann Summit reviews state treaty changes in 2018
The Summit was well attended Jurgen Stühmeyer
Chief Marketing Officer, adp Gauselmann GmbH
“We feel obliged to continually bring innovations to market for our gaming customers, in order to maintain their loyalty to us. The gaming guest him- or herself is completely unaware of the possible pending legal restrictions in Germany. He or she only expects to be able to play new gaming equipment in future. And that is precisely the direction in which the new product developments we presented at the Industry Summit are headed.”

In September adp Gauselmann GmbH invited top clients to the seventh Industry Summit in Frankfurt. Tis year's event was held under the motto "Te future created from today’s experience - With us you stay in the game!" Te meeting, held in a setting dominated by products, politics and celebrations, confirmed that the German market is in transition. Te traditional event offered a varied mix of lectures and discussions with guests from business, industry and science as well as an entertaining social programme. In addition to the presentation of the latest products a constructive panel discussion debated the topic: "State Treaty - Quo vadis?"
Mr Stühmeyer, how was the Industry Summit for you? Are you happy with this year's event?
Te Industry Summit, in its seventh edition, has once again been a very successful event for us and demand for it continues to grow. Unfortunately, we are numerically strongly limited due to the evening event. Otherwise, we could certainly welcome double the amount of visitors to the Industry Summit. Te demand is there in any case. Tanks to the new products, specialist technical presentations, the panel discussion, and of course the evening event, the added value on offer for customers is enormous. It is a proven concept, which we are highly likely to continue in future.
After all, we could not have been leader on the German market for so long, had we not continually surpassed our own achievements. For instance, we celebrated the première of three new M-BOX versions at this year's Industry Summit, namely the M-BOXes Fruits, Egypt and Gold. Likewise, there are the two popular wall units Ergoline and Slimline 22, which will now bring a renewed vigour to our gastronomy product range. Te aqua and silver edition have been given a fresh colour design and lend a varied and
innovative effect to the gastronomy product range. In addition, no less than seven new games packages were introduced, in order to offer new content for machines already on the market. Te presentation of the new Mini-Coin Recycler by GeWeTe has also been a great success. A product that offers an incredible price-performance ratio and which is ideal for both smaller and larger sites, e.g. as a complementary money changer. Te main focus this year has been on the adp Merkur Service product range, which we use to supply our customers with goods and services that do not necessarily belong to our classic product range. Among other things, adp Merkur Service offers a variety of accessories, the option to use our assistance during the venue certification process, training courses for gaming venue staff and technicians as well as our unique full-service offering.
Before we begin, let me answer what is likely to be your first question, i.e. "What our customers can expect for next year's summit?:" Te Industry Summit 2017 will take place at the same time as our "60 years of Gauselmann" anniversary celebrations and will be held at our manufacturing and distribution headquarters in Lübbecke! Here, we will be able to completely customise the event to meet our
