On a splendid evening in Macau, Inside Asian Gaming successfully hosted the latest edition of Macau After Dark (MAD), a highly anticipated networking event that brought together around 100 industry personalities. The venue for this memorable evening was the sophisticated Blind Tiger, located on the top floor of W Macau – Studio City. The event provided a perfect blend of relaxed networking, exquisite drinks, and delicious canapés, set against the backdrop of spectacular views over Macau.
A Night of Relaxed Networking and High-Level Mingling
The highlight of the evening was the presence of Melco Resorts Chairman and CEO, Lawrence Ho. His participation, along with other senior executives from Melco, added a touch of prestige to the gathering. The casual atmosphere of the venue allowed attendees to engage in meaningful conversations and build connections with some of the key figures in the industry.
As the sun set and the city lights began to twinkle, the venue’s panoramic views provided a stunning visual experience that complemented the evening’s social interactions. The relaxed yet vibrant setting of Blind Tiger created an ideal environment for networking and catching up on industry developments, both old and new.
Acknowledging the Support of Sponsors
The event’s success was significantly bolstered by the support of several key sponsors. Light & Wonder, as the Platinum Sponsor, played a crucial role in making the event possible. Aristocrat Gaming and Winning Asia, as Gold Sponsors, also contributed to the evening’s success. The venue itself, Studio City, served as the Venue Sponsor, providing an elegant setting for the festivities.
The sponsors were actively involved in the evening’s proceedings, particularly during the Lucky Draw segment. Their participation not only demonstrated their support but also added an element of excitement to the event.
Lucky Draw Prizes: A Touch of Glamour and Fun
One of the evening’s most anticipated moments was the Lucky Draw, which featured an array of attractive prizes. The draw included three special accommodation packages for stays at Studio City Hotel. Each package came with a buffet breakfast for two at Spotlight, enhancing the allure of the prize. The top prize was particularly enticing, offering a ticket for four people to Studio City Water Park, which added a layer of excitement to the event.
MAD’s Continued Legacy: Connecting Industry Leaders
Macau After Dark, which first debuted in early 2019, has established itself as a significant networking event within the Asian gaming industry. The event series has been held in key gaming hubs such as Macau and Manila, rotating around the region’s best hospitality venues. These venues include both well-known locations and hidden gems, contributing to the unique charm of each MAD event.
The series is designed to bring together key decision-makers and influential figures in a relaxed and friendly environment. This approach fosters genuine connections and discussions that might not occur in more formal settings.
The latest edition of Macau After Dark was a testament to the event’s growing influence and success. With a perfect blend of networking opportunities, high-profile attendees, and generous sponsors, the evening proved to be both enjoyable and productive. As MAD continues to rotate through Asia’s premier hospitality venues, it remains a cornerstone of industry networking and a platform for meaningful engagement among gaming professionals.
