JCM, the international currency validator, has been confirmed as the first commercial sponsor of May’s Japan Gaming Congress to be held May 14 to 16 in Tokyo.
The announcement was confirmed on the second day of ICE Totally Gaming during the Asia Breakfast Focus which featured key speakers including Toru Mihara, Director, The Institute of Amusement Industry Studies, Osaka University of Commerce.
Tom Nieman, JCM’s Vice President of Global Marketing, said: “I think for the first time the political planets in Japan are aligned in terms of gaming and we are extremely excited about the opportunity of being able to bring our industry home. It’s going to be an exciting time in May and Clarion’s timing for the Congress could be perfect. We see ourselves not just as a commercial partner, but also as something akin to a cultural ambassador – we are fluent in both Japanese and gaming. We are proud to be associated with this momentous event and look forward to another productive relationship with the team at Clarion.”
