AmEx 2005 - The 26th Irish Amusement Trade Exhibition & Seminars will be held on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 March 2005 at the Lynch Green Isle Hotel, Dublin from 11 am to 6 pm both days. According to show organisers, the main exhibition halls are now full, but a small number of stands remain in the hotel foyer and a number of syndicate rooms are also available. The stands are suitable to accommodate two or three upright machines, whereas the syndicate rooms will accommodate up to ten machines and have bar and refreshment facilities available. This is good news for potential exhibitors and anyone interested in securing a stand at the event should contact the organisers immediately, as the remaining space is expected to be snapped up very quickly.
