AGEM Key Board of Directors Actions l Te first AGEM in-person monthly meeting in 15 months took place in July at Black Fire Innovation, which is part of the Harry Reid Research and Technology Park in Las Vegas overseen by UNLV. Tis impressive new facility will become AGEM’s worldwide headquarters once the new office space is completed. Te meeting was attended in-person by 20 individuals and also almost 60 members via Zoom and on the phone. All monthly meetings will take place here from now onwards and it is hoped the number of physical attendees will grow in the coming months.
l Following an inquiry from some AGEM members to request an update to regulations so that cashless wagering systems can operate in the cloud, a meeting has been scheduled with the Nevada Gaming Control Board, headed by Chair J Brin Gibson, who will be joined by Jim Barbee, Chief of the Technology Division. Other topics will also be presented for discussion and members will receive an update at the August monthly meeting.
l After 15 months of activity, AGEM was pleased to announce to members that a fully agreed G2E contract has been finalised with the American Gaming Association and Reed Expo that sees the three organisations partner for at least the next six years. Tis agreement provides clarity for AGEM members regarding discounts on booth space depending on member status (Gold, Silver, Bronze and Associate) as well as related cost savings on exhibit space.
l AGEM members approved a contribution of $5,000 to support the G2E Chairman’s Reception. Tis is a lower sponsorship than previous years, which reflects the reduced budget AGEM has available due to the pandemic. Te event is held during G2E and runs alongside the AGA’s Hall of Fame event.
l Te Clarion Events team including Alex Pratt, Kate Chambers, Stuart Hunter and Brian Sullivan gave a call-in update to members regarding the National Indian Gaming Association and ICE 2022 shows. Chambers was recently appointed Executive Advisor to once again work closely with the land-based sector to ensure Clarion is delivering return on investment for exhibitors. Pratt, Group Managing Director, spoke to members about Clarion’s ICE Charter that focuses on cost containment and pricing initiatives following a detailed assessment of supplier feedback. Clarion also plans significant investment to drive growth and add value.

Forthcoming Events l Korbi Carrison, Reed Event Director for G2E, shared an update with members regarding the
forthcoming show in October. Attendee registration is planned to open by the end of July along with information regarding the conference program. Planning for the virtual component of G2E is underway and details will be shared concerning portions of the show that will be virtual as well as in-person. For exhibitors, the online manual has been released that reflects Reed’s robust cost-containment initiatives that sees show service costs being held flat as per 2020 show prices. Health and safety information continues to be reviewed in the run up to G2E as restrictions in Nevada evolve and other Reed shows provide feedback and results of best practices.
