L'ATEI c'est la semaine prochaine, et les organisateurs veulent durcir leur politique d'accès. L'ATEI etant un salon pro, ils ne veulent que des pros, d'ou le mail envoyé à ArcadeHeroes:
We’ve been asked to pass this along as a follow-up to a previous post:
“Following some unusual comments regarding attendance to this month’s Amusement Trade Exhibition International (ATEI) in London, we would like to draw the attention of the moderator and members that there will be procedures put in place to deal with non-trade attendance.
We need to make it clear that as this is a Trade exhibition, non-trade attendance is prohibited, with no exceptions. If you have registered online and you do not have a legitimate reason to attend, you may not be granted access to the show. This has always been the policy of the show and is being strictly enforced this year.
ATEI is keen to support reputable online media and audience portals with their coverage of the event, so all non-trade media should contact the official ATEI representative for this non-trade, KWP Limited, to arrange valid entry into the event.”
Hopefully all will be resolved for those attending before the show begins.
Mais aussi pour ceux qui reussiraient à rentrer:
Due to the massive interest in this month’s Amusement Trade Exhibition International (ATEI) in London: the largest gathering of the arcade and amusement technology in Europe, the organisers have had to put in place a strict trade-only policy regarding attendance. In order to ensure that maximum exposure is achieved to all those with a valid need to attend the event, a non-trade registration structure has been put in place.
All non-amusement trade media should contact ATEI’s appointed representative, KWP Limited, who will be facilitating all exhibition attendance for those from non-trade magazines and online hoping to attend. This year, media access to cover the event will be carefully monitored and specifically allocated; access passes can only be obtained though this channel. Unaccredited media and non-trade will be turned away at the door.
For photographers, ATEI will be holding an escorted tour of the exhibition floor, where photography and interview access with exhibitors and products will be granted only by prior arrangement with KWP. Please contact KWP to reserve a place, as unsupervised photography during the show will be forbidden and you will be asked to leave. Video recording is strictly forbidden onsite. This is due to the product trademarks and any person found filming will be removed by security.
Likewise those not from a recognised media or commercial service that has not contacted KWP prior to the show will need to do so immediately, supplying their reason to attend ATEI and references. The show is only two weeks away so to avoid being turned away at registration please register via KWP now.
Bref, c'est pas glop tout ca:
- Va falloir serrer des coudes pour rentrer et ne pas s'assoir sur son billet Eurostar
- Une fois dedans, il faut l'autorisation pour prendre des tofs
- Si tu filmes, t'es viré!
Euh... finalement cette année je n'y vais pas...
