Biggest-ever ICE breaks all the records

ICE London next month will be the biggest in the history of the event – officially.

Clarion Gaming, owner of the show, has confirmed that the 2023 event – set for February 7-9 – will be the largest ever with 51,466sq.m of net space, beating the previous best of 2020 when it covered 49,690sq.m.

The show will occupy 41 of the halls at the venue, ExCeL in London’s Docklands, with its sister event, iGB Affiliate, taking the remaining three halls.

Stuart Hunter, managing director of Clarion Gaming, confirmed the scale of the experience awaiting gambling industry professionals in February.

He stated: “ICE London and sister show iGB Affiliate London will be occupying the entirety of ExCeL. That means all of the North and South side exhibition halls, every meeting room and all of the International Conference Centre at ExCeL, which will host ICE VOX, the World Regulatory Briefing and the International Casino Conference. In very simple terms there’s not a square millimetre of space left.”

He added: “ICE is vital to the global business, more so because the industry has waited three years for its return: as a consequence, the eyes of the gaming world will be focused on what many industry commentators are now referring to as World Gaming Week, a description based on the volume and variety of high-level meetings, sector leading conferences, content master classes and networking that takes place over the period that the global industry meets and comes together in London.”
