Sportscasting and Event Promotion
Allen Hopkins Productions started the Super Billiards Expo, each year held in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, which has since become the biggest consumer-oriented expo in the Billiards industry trade show in the world, with multiple tournaments for amateur, seniors, women and men professional player levels.
He has combined efforts with Billiards International and promoted innovative pocket billiards exhibitions like the Skins Billiards Championship, the Texas Hold'em Billiards Championship, and the US$1,000,000 Nine-Ball Shootout.
The Team DMIRO Tour was backed by Allen Hopkins, however, ended when tour owner and business partner Mike Andrews closed the tour due to the lack of Allen's involvement.

Famous quotes containing the words event and/or promotion:
“In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There’s no way of sustaining our children if we don’t first rescue ourselves. I don’t call that selfish behavior. I call it love.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
