Ukrainian Gaming Week 2021 exhibition: dates and program

In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection, quarantine restrictions are introduced in different parts of the world: Great Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, etc. In some countries, stricter requirements for crossing the state border are established.

Ukrainian Gaming Week 2021 exhibition will become the largest industry event after the legalization of the gambling business, which will unite the leaders of the global gambling market. However, due to quarantine restrictions, foreign participants and guests may experience difficulties making international travel. Thus, they might not have the opportunity to come to Ukraine on the dates previously announced for the exhibition, which will make it impossible to hold the event on the planned scale.

Taking into account the current circumstances, the organizer of Ukrainian Gaming Week –Smile-Expo international company decided to reschedule the specialized event to the spring of 2021.

New dates of the exhibition: March 23-24.

Venue: KyivExpoPlaza.

The decision of rescheduling the event and choosing a new location will enable even more participants and guests to join the show.
