Singapore Expo Transforms Into A Gaming Paradise

May 20, 2010 - PRLog -- 21 May 2010, Singapore. Gaming aficionados and computer enthusiasts are in for an exhilarating ride this month-end as Singapore’s leading convention and exhibition centre, Singapore Expo, gears up for the widely-popular gaming and electronics fair, Licence2Play.

From 28 to 30 May, 200,000 visitors are set to enter the exciting world of entertainment and gaming at Hall 6B and send their senses into overdrive as they view the latest products and engage in highly anticipated game launches, entertaining performances as well as showcases presented by Singapore’s very own gaming giants, Asiasoft and Infocomm Asia Holdings. Also not to be missed is the electronics bazaar, where gaming gadgets and peripherals along with best-selling game titles are set to go at unbeatable prices.

Avid gamers who wish to get their adrenalin pumping can look forward to joining The New Paper Cyber Challenge, presented by GameAxis. They can register for free to battle it out in any of the three games, Counter-Strike Online, Dragonica Online and FIFA Online 2, and the ultimate champion will walk away with a bevy of attractive prizes. PC DIY Challenge, co-presented by Digital Life and Seagate, the other mind-boggling competition at this gaming extravaganza, will see participants racing against time to assemble their dream PC, which they stand a chance to bring home at the very end.
To truly adhere to the theme of play this year, Licence2Play will delight toy collectors with the debut of Toy Carnival, which will feature twelve exhibitors showcasing the latest cards, comics, cards, collectibles and toys from various anime and movies, as well as featuring items from international toy makers Bandai, DID, Enterbay, Hot Toys, Takara Tomy, and Sideshow.

Events of any genre and scale come to life at Expo

Having hosted numerous gaming and IT shows over the years, Expo has both the creative event capabilities and versatile space to fulfill the objectives of License2Play. Organiser and exhibitors alike are able to take full advantage of the myriad of event support solutions available at Expo to successfully deliver a multi-faceted consumer event that incorporates not just an electronics bazaar but also two competitions, a carnival and several performances throughout the three show days.

Says Chandran Nair, Deputy General Manager of Singex Venues Pte Ltd which oversees the management and operations of Expo, “Today's consumers are very focused on their needs and look out for an all-round event experience which goes beyond just a regular warehouse sale. We at Expo understand this unrelenting  trend and being one of the few purpose-built event venues in the region, we are well-equipped with the necessary infrastructure and event services to be able to assist organisers such as those of Licence2Play to execute an event that truly enchants and excites even the most discerning visitor.”
