Not only are pre-registrations up by an amazing 45 percent on the previous year, but there are also more overseas visitors planning to attend than ever before.

“Preview’s influence appears to be spreading,” said Ylva Howard, co-organiser of the show. “We have attracted visitor pre-registrations this year from almost 20 nations including Australia, Nigeria, Turkey and the Yemen and never before have so many people pre-ordered their tickets from the website so early.”

“It has been a difficult summer for companies in the UK in particular,” added Philip Howard. “Therefore, we are particularly pleased that the industry is supporting Preview in such a positive way. It is clear that Preview 2007 is the best opportunity to get your products seen and to talk to industry decision makers.”

The high demand for exhibition space at this year’s Preview show has meant new stand positions for existing and first-time exhibitors. In the Champagne Suite, visitors can now find Sega Amusements Europe and RLMS Sales. Olympic Sales from Bundoran in Ireland is also taking a stand upstairs, as is FatSpanner.

The Champagne Suite entrance hall welcomes a number of completely new exhibitors to Preview, including GamesConcepts, Syndicate UK and sms-VIP.

In the Chablis Suite downstairs, Preview is welcoming an eclectic range of companies including distributor AMG Leisure, IMS (UK), Hamayoon Amusements and Hazel Electronics.

Finally, Games Warehouse takes on its largest ever stand space in the Bourg Room on the Mezzanine Floor.

This movement of stands is indicative of the number of new companies who wish to showcase their products at Preview for the first time. In addition, existing exhibitors have requested more stand space and more high-profile positions. This promises to be one of the most exciting Previews ever.

Never before has it been so important to visit, network and become informed.
