Entertainment Arena at G2E 2008 Showcase

Global Gaming Expo (G2E), Nov. 18-20, 2008, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, is the world's largest conference and trade show for the casino entertainment and gaming industry. Presented by the American Gaming Association and Reed Expositions, G2E 2007 attracted 30,173 audited attendees, which included 2,000-plus entertainment buyers.



Live entertainment shows at U. S. casinos alone now attract a weekly audience of 4.2 million attendees. Now in its eighth year, G2E is an opportunity to showcase before casino entertainment buyers worldwide.



The Entertainment Arena at G2E 2008 will provide casino entertainment executives with three days of educational conference sessions, a dedicated trade show exhibit area, plus artist showcases on the G2E Showcase Stage.



Ten musical attractions will be selected to perform 30-minute showcase sets for casino entertainment directors, talent buyers and executive management. Following their sets, showcase artists will be provided an opportunity to participate in a 30-minute "meet and greet" session with casino entertainment executives. In addition, showcase artists will receive complimentary passes ($125 value) for their performers and one representative to attend the G2E trade show.



Artists selected to showcase will be notified on or around August 1, 2008. Selected artists will perform on the G2E Showcase Stage located in the Grand Concourse of the Las Vegas Convention Center. This professional concert stage will include audio, lighting, backline and techs.



Artists selected to showcase will be responsible for their own travel and lodging expenses, plus will be required to sign a Showcase Agreement (see Rules & Regulations) and pay a Showcase Fee, no later than August 31, 2008, as follows: Artists represented by a G2E 2008 exhibitor - $400 Showcase Fee; Artists not represented by a G2E 2008 exhibitor - $1,750 Showcase Fee.
