Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

“ICE” historically stands for “International Casinos Exhibition”, but the gaming industry has evolved significantly since ICE started and, as the event has developed in line with the changing gaming landscape, it now services the entire gaming spectrum, with a balance between land-based and digital channels.

ICE continues to be unrivaled as the leading global gaming technology event for business growth, development and networking for B2B individuals.

All forms of gaming are covered at ICE, whether land-based or online. So if you are a decision-maker within gaming you can register your interest for your free pass here, to be one of the first to know when official registration is launched. 

If you are a provider of solutions for gaming decision makers, you should enquire about stand/sponsorship options.
