The past few years has taken a significant toll on conferences worldwide. The International Casino Expo (ICE) London has felt that impact as well. However, the event is taking place in 2022 and is just around the corner. ICE London 2022 will be held from the 12th to the 14th of April. The venue is the same as for previous editions, the ExCeL London.
As usual, the gathering will bring together the crème de la crème of gaming operators from all around Europe, including giants and newly founded operations. In addition, participants are promised to see many existing products and product launches by hundreds of operators from 150 countries. It’s also estimated that the event will have over 30,000 industry attendants this year.
ICE London is a convention for casino operators and related industry suppliers. The convention traces its roots way back to 1990. Clarion Gaming, the convention’s founder, was seeking a gathering of industry experts to facilitate networking, business growth, diversity, and inspiration. Since its inception, ICE has managed to be one of the most anticipated events on the calendar every year. Jack Harris, chief editor of australia-casino.co describes the conference as a, “mandatory to attend, at least once in your lifetime if you work in this field.” To celebrate the revival of the event, we’ve compiled a list of what you should look forward to and what you can expect from it.
Potential partnerships
ICE London 2022 is the place where partnerships come alive in the casino world. Due to the business to business nature of the event, you can expect to meet professionals who are looking to collaborate to elevate their businesses and attract potential customers. Many success stories are coming from attendees that have teamed up to create even better gaming products and services. Due to the massive number of companies participating and their diversity, the chances for networking are almost infinite.

As for every year, ICE London is the ultimate place for companies to unveil what they have been working on to the public.
