The Amusement and Retail Entertainment Expo (ARE Expo) will return to Manchester on Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th April 2026 – and the industry is invited to save the date for what promises to be another unmissable event.
Following a successful 2025 debut, ARE Expo 2026 will once again bring together the amusement, gaming, retail, and leisure sectors for two days of innovation, networking, and forward-thinking discussion. The 2026 edition will feature an expanded exhibitor lineup, product showcases, and a dynamic seminar programme addressing the most pressing topics facing the industry.
“We’re delighted to confirm the 2026 dates and to build on the momentum of this year’s launch,” said Karen Cooke, ARE Expo Organiser. “ARE Expo is fast becoming a key date in the industry calendar, and we’re proud to once again be working alongside The Gambling Business Group and The Amusement Network to deliver an event that celebrates the best of our sector.”
