European Casino Association backs new ICE dates

The rearranged ICE London trade show (April 12-14) has been given the nod of approval by the European Casino Association.

The organisation, representing 900 casinos in 28 European countries, has confirmed its support for the show in its new dates. It said in a statement that the show is an “opportunity to bring together the land-based casino sector after a prolonged period of absence.”

It joins the Las Vegas-based manufacturers’ organisation, AGEM, in backing the new dates for the show.

ECA chairman Per Jaldung (pictured) said: “The ECA supports the decision of Clarion Events to postpone the London show to April in order to ensure that it is everything that we expect from an ICE expo.

“We respect the flexibility and responsible decision making shown by Clarion in moving forward the show to avoid yet another wave of Covid uncertainty.”
