Clarion Gaming confirms new April dates for ICE London

The ICE London event was to take place from February 1-3. This was to be followed by the iGB Affiliate London, to be held at ExCeL London from February 2 to 5.

However, due to the spread of the new Omicron variant, the event has been postponed two months later than planned.

The week of events will begin with the ICE VOX Conference on April 11, with the World Regulatory Briefing and the International Casino Conference running through April 13.

ICE will begin on April 12, followed by iGB Affiliate London the next day. The iGB Affiliate Awards will be presented that evening at The Troxy.

“Following consultation with our customers globally, market concern at the uncertainty caused by the Omicron variant and the primary objective of providing a safe and secure environment for visitors, exhibitors and venue staff, we have secured new dates for ICE London, ICE VOX and iGB Affiliate London from 11 to 14 April 2022,” Clarion Gaming managing director Stuart Hunter said.

“What for many buyers and brands is becoming the most influential week in world gaming succeeds in bringing together upwards of 700 exhibitors to ExCeL London and I would like to pay tribute to the ExCeL senior management team which has worked tirelessly alongside us over the Christmas break in order to accommodate events of this magnitude and help us to deliver the best possible solution to our stakeholders.”

Also, Hunter added that amid "intensive" discussions about rescheduled dates, Clarion Gaming had been committed to avoid a clash with the Indian Gaming Fair and Convention, which will take place 19 to 22 April in Anaheim, California. 

“[We] have been in close contact with colleagues at the National Indian Gaming Association who in turn have been extremely sensitive to the circumstances caused by the Omicron variant,” he said. “Again, I would like to put on the record my thanks for their understanding and support. We will continue to work through any remaining challenges with all of our clients and stakeholders and support them with their preparations and planning for what is the world’s biggest and most influential gaming industry gathering.”

Naomi Burton, portfolio director at iGB Affiliate London, said that last fall iGB Affiliate Amsterdam showcased how important face-to-face events are and provide care for everyone involved in the industry.

“I’m delighted that we have been able to secure new dates a little more than six months after our Amsterdam events,” Barton said. 

“The focus now for my team is to build on the momentum of what was a record-breaking show for the iGB brand, and consolidate its ‘best in class’ brand credentials by delivering the largest global iGaming affiliate event this April.”
