Bowling Event Rimini (BER) is a brand new trade show dedicated exclusively to bowling. The event will be held simultaneously with ENADA Spring, held from March 13th to 16th 2008 in hall A1 at Rimini Fiera, Italy.
BER will be Europe's first bowling trade show, catering to a sector with approximately 4,000 bowling centres. It is being organized by Rimini Fiera SpA and Facto Edizioni, with the support of the FISB (Italian Bowling Federation) and the EBPA (European Bowling Proprietors Association).
On show at the event will be lanes, machines for cleaning and conditioning them, scoring systems, pinsetters, masking units, signs & overheads, spare parts, seating, bowls, pins and much more. Other products include services for setting up, fitting out and renovating centres (from design to financing), all kinds of accessories for bowlers, as well as complementary products, such as merchandising, vending machines, and mini bowling lanes. Companies that have already formally confirmed their participation in the expo include Qubica-AMF, Steltronic, Switch Entertainment, Si-Line and Vebo.
BER will be held simultaneously with the 20th edition of ENADA Spring; however the two shows will remain independent. The co-location of the event with the popular coin-op and amusement trade show presents opportunities for networking and co-operation that will be profitable for both visitors and exhibitors.
The expo will cater to a diverse range of bowling centers, including recreational venues and venues geared toward professional sport. There is no doubt that amusement and bowling have come increasingly close over recent years.
On one hand, bowling is lowering its profile as a purely competitive sport – increasingly changing into a recreational activity for pure leisure. On the other, many recreational venues not originally opened as bowling centres have discovered the business opportunities offered by this sports activity.
Danilo Tosetto, manager of Facto Edizioni continued, "The profile of typical BER visitors is therefore varied. First and foremost, there are obviously bowling centre owners and managers and the bowlers themselves. But that's not all. I'd say that all those who have already made bowling their business, or intend doing so, should come to Rimini. There they'll find a complete showcase and plenty of input for establishing or improving their professionalism."
