Chambers commented: "Each year we undertake an extensive research programme amongst our customer base of visitors and one of the top quoted reasons for attending ICE is the opportunity it provides to meet and connect with new companies and potential new suppliers.
"Large business to business events such as ICE provide a valuable opportunity to expand horizons and forge new contacts, as well as meet with the better-known innovators and suppliers in the business.
"However, what I think makes ICE unique is that our first-time exhibitors, the X Factor in the ICE proposition, are drawn from throughout the gaming world, thereby providing visitors with an international perspective as opposed to a regional or a national one, in the process bringing a new dimension and vitality to the show floor.”
ICE Totally Gaming is the only B2B gaming event that brings together the online and offline gaming sectors. Featuring world-leading innovators drawn from casino, betting, bingo, lottery, mobile, online and street gaming, ICE provides the most comprehensive shop window on world gaming and in 2016 attracted a record attendance of 28,487 drawn from 150 nations.
