According to GTI show organisers, GTI Expo's reputation and recognition in the global electronic gaming/amusement industry has continuously improved over the past 11 years because of the expertise of Taiwanese manufacturers and the abundance of products with competitive quality, diversity, and pricing. The total exhibiting area of the show has grown every year, with many companies left on the waiting list for space in the past few editions of the show. GTI Expo 2006 will be held from 7-9 July at B and C Zones, Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center in Taipei, Taiwan. Official reservation for space at the show will open in 2006. The Expo is organised by the Taiwan Amusement Machine Association (TAMA) and the Taiwan Digital Entertainment Association (TDEA) and managed by Game Time International (GTI).
