"The show this year has continued the line of previous ones, growing and improving compared to previous editions, first held in Monterrey, and then in Mexico City," said Pedro Galindo, head of ELA 2011.
"This year we had the same exhibiting surface in square meters, nearly 10,000, but we have grown visitor’s number," he added. "We're thinking, for the next year considering the schedules that usually use Mexicans, to organize the show from 15:00 to 21:00," he said.
When asked about the absence of some major international brands, Galindo commented: "Obviously, it would be arrogant to say that the absence of these companies does not affect the show, because it did. They are highly recognized companies such as Bally, IGT, Aristocrat, Konami, and others. Having them among the exhibitors, gives reputation to any event. But fortunately, their space has been filled rapidly, and many European companies were present for the first time. "
"This is a boutique fair, which is characterized by elegance. Everyone tells me that the exhibitors have invested much money, and even the organizers of Banamex, who held many shows a year, say that this is one of the most produced one in terms of quality of the stands, “Galindo said.
"Operators are happy because most of all of their suppliers are here, and exhibitors are satisfied with their results. So we feel more than satisfied with the final balance of ELA," he concluded.
