ABOUT THE SOUTHERN AMUSEMENT & ENTERTAINMENT EXPO
The Southern Amusement and Entertainment Expo (SAEE) is the leading coin-op trade show in the Southeastern United States. Set in beautiful Duluth, Georgia, the brand-new Gas South Convention Center is a cutting-edge facility that promotes new product launches for our attendees and record sales for our exhibitors. The convention center is surrounded by first-in-class restaurants and accommodations that are perfect for your next business meeting or social gathering.
Founded by the Georgia Amusement & Music Operators Association (GAMOA) in 2018, the Southern Amusement and Entertainment Expo began as a way for industry leaders to come together and share ideas to improve and advance the amusement industry. Today the SAEE is co-hosted by GAMOA and the North Carolina Coin Operators Association (NCCOA) and welcomes more than 60 exhibitors and 300 attendees for two days of information and innovation. We invite you to join us and see why so many others have chosen the SAEE as their place to connect with the amusement and entertainment industry in the South.
