The rAge expo has always been an exclusive event, which is held in Johannesburg at the Dome in Northgate. However, this is about to change. According to Michael James, who is the senior project manager for the expo, rAge will be heading to Cape Town in 2016.
According to James “After many years of requests from the gaming community, we’re finally heading to the Mother City to bring rAge to the gamers, technology enthusiasts and fellow geeks of Cape Town!”
The Cape Town expo will take place from Friday 18 March 2016 to Sunday 20 March 2016 at the GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World in Goodwood. “When speaking to our clients about this exciting venture, we’ve received nothing but support for the concept, which ultimately means there’ll be an awesome variety of things to see and do for visitors to the expo,” says James.
“The closure of NAG magazine has allowed us the time and resources needed to expand the rAge footprint into Cape Town,” explains James. “We’re taking some of the key elements of rAge JHB and bringing them to rAge Cape Town with a vision of growing Cape Town into something unique and exciting. The plan is to bring some ideas to rAge Cape Town that we’ve not been able to realise at rAge JHB due to space constraints and other logistical issues.”
“Besides the introduction of rAge Cape Town, we’re also in the planning stages of bringing another NAG LAN to Johannesburg next year to meet the demand that we simply can’t keep up with anymore at rAge,” says James. “This will also allow us the opportunity to add exciting eSports events to this new NAG LAN event in Jo’burg, as there won’t be a super-busy expo running alongside it.”
