Following a postponement due to the rise of the Omicron Covid-19 variant over the Christmas period, the two events will now take place two months later than planned. ICE London was originally in the schedule for 1 to 3 of February, followed by iGB Affiliate from 2 to 5 February.
The week of events will kick off with the ICE VOX Conference on 11 April, with the World Regulatory Briefing and International Casino Conference, running to 13 April.
ICE then opens its doors on 12 April, with iGB Affiliate London kicking off a day later on 13 April, with this year’s iGB Affiliate Awards also hosted at The Troxy that evening.
Stuart Hunter, Managing Director, Clarion Gaming, commented: “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.
“What for many buyers and brands is becoming the most influential week in world gaming succeeds in bringing together upwards of 700 exhibitors to the ExCeL Exhibition Centre. I would like to pay tribute to the ExCeL senior management team which has worked tirelessly alongside us over the Christmas break, to accommodate events of this magnitude and help us to deliver the best possible solution to our stakeholders.”
During the consultation over the rescheduling, special discussions were held to ensure that the new dates did not clash with the NIGA Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention, which takes place from 19 to 22 April in Anaheim, California.
