ARE Expo to once again partner with Gamechangers for competitive socialising seminars

The Amusement and Retail Entertainment Expo (ARE Expo) will once again be working with GameChangers to deliver a programme of dedicated seminar sessions focused on the fast-growing competitive socialising sector.

Following a successful collaboration at the inaugural ARE Expo, Jade Craig, Managing Director and Founder of Inntegra Ltd and CEO and Founder of Gamechangers, will curate two seminar sessions at the 2026 show. One session will bring together operators from across the North of England, while the second will focus on insights from leading suppliers active within the competitive socialising space.

Commenting on the partnership, Jade Craig said:

“We participated in the first ever ARE Expo last year and this year we will be organising two seminars – one with operators in the North and the other with some leading suppliers to the sector. It’s a great chance to catch up with our members in the region and we’re really looking forward to seeing everyone in April.”

Karen Cooke, Show Director of ARE Expo, added:

“It’s fantastic to be working with Jade and her team once again. We recognise the growing importance of the competitive socialising sector within the wider amusement and leisure industry, and these sessions will provide valuable insight, discussion and practical takeaways for attendees.”

The seminars form part of ARE Expo’s wider commitment to delivering relevant, forward-looking content that reflects the evolving shape of the amusement, leisure and retail entertainment landscape.
