Gioco News organizes a Round Table that will be the opportunity to take stock of the gaming market in Italy, thus opening a showcase for international operators and potential investors. The Clarion Gaming event moves to the Catalan capital for the first time, choosing the Fira Gran Via, where the organizers announce there will be over 1,000 exhibiting brands coming from 118 countries, for a total of 120,000 square meters of space. This means that visitors will be part of the largest event in the history of the gambling industry, exceeding 100,000 square meters scored by the event last February 2024.
The monthly paper magazine Gioco News and the online newspaper GiocoNews.it will be present with part of the editorial staff, ready to meet partners, operators and suppliers. These are the coordinates to put in your agenda: MC18-19 Hall 5.
It will be an opportunity to network and create content for the entire gaming sector. In addition, it will be possible to pick up a copy of the 2025 first issue of the magazine, in massive distribution along the “ramblas” of the Spanish show. During the event, the special issue of the magazine in two languages will be available to readers and professionals, with a rich internal focus dedicated to Ice and gaming in Europe.

Ige and Iga and Ice
Also at the same stand there will be the opportunity to meet the team of Ige, Italian Gaming Expo and Conference, and Iga - Italian Gaming Awards. After the success of the “first”, on Wednesday, the 9th and Thursday, the 10th April 2025, at the Salone delle Fontane in Rome, the second edition of Ige “The sustainable future of gaming” will be held, representing the Italian public gaming industry. Two days of in-depth analysis of all the aspects that involve the stakeholders of one of the most important gaming markets in Europe and in the world, together with the institutions, experts, scholars, opinion leaders and influencers.
Also in this second edition Ige looks at the future of gaming in Italy: a future that wants and must be fully sustainable. This is in fact the challenge that concerns all the stakeholders in the process of reforming the sector, not only the industry, but also politics, institutions and the regulator.
The Italian Gaming Awards 2025, now in their second edition, will make the event even more special. The evening, dedicated to reward the excellence of Italian gaming and the best practices in the sector, will take place in an exclusive location: Spazio Novecento, still in Rome. A unique opportunity to enhance the industry and its talents, but also to promote the sector to the general public. The awards will be assigned by a scientific committee and a jury of experts specifically set up, composed of international professionals and scholars, as well as representatives of the information world.
