The international gaming community's meeting platform
ICE London is the largest international trade show in the gaming sector. Sometimes, you will encounter the show under the name ICE International Gaming Expo, and it is been going strong alongside ICEi, which targets emotional intelligence in a variety of fields from medicine to social sciences. The market for games of chance has only grown larger, and the further digitalization of the industry has opened up new venues for profit. ICE London positions itself as a central hub for innovation and incredible networking. You can see this in the product portfolio, which has come to include betting, bingo, casino, lottery, mobile, online, social and street games, along with the associated technical services and solutions.

ICE London 2022
ICE London 2022 was held as a live event at the ExCeL London from April 12th to April 14th, 2022. Due to the country's removal of its domestic Covid-19 limitations as a result of the improved epidemiological situation, the hosting location did not apply rigorous safety procedures. The event received around 460 exhibitors.
ICE London 2023
ICE London's 2023 edition featured more than 40,000 visitors and over 650 brands from 150 countries. The live trade fair, hosted between 07.02.2023 and 09.02.2023 in ExCeL London, did not include Covid-19 safety measures. This was due to the UK lifting its pandemic-related restrictions. The rendition was a significant success and lead to 80% of the available exhibition space for the next edition to be booked by 16:00 on 09.02.2023.
ICE London is the product of Clarion Events Ltd. and takes place every year in London, UK. Editions are normally held around the start of the calendar year in early February and last for a total of three days.
The official host is ExCeL London, which admits professional visitors from 10:00 am until 18:00 pm. Only the last day wraps up two hours early at 16:00 pm.
ExCeL London is well-connected to London infrastructure, making it easy to reach by car and there are also ways to get to it using the city’s massive railway system. You have your pick from metro lines, the DLR and overground trains. Either way, you’re never too far or too long from the exhibition grounds.
ICE London fulfills multiple roles. On one hand it’s a pure trade show, where business is the number one priority. On another it’s also an event that aims to educate through seminars that are free to attend. This has definitely contributed to the heterogeneous nature of the audience.
You have close to 600 international exhibitors, now over 900 operators and 33,000 international trade visitors. This is why you will meet up with professionals who are only now starting their careers in the games sector as well as the higher echelons of the corporate world – directors, CEOs, CTOs, and business development managers. It’s not surprising to hear this considering the trade show is sponsored by some big industry players like BBIN, FBM Gaming, Aristrocrat, Ganapati, Reflex Gaming, Suzohapp and Betradar.
- ICE London focuses on business and as such you’re able to get the attention of the biggest buyers in the industry, who make it a point to attend;
- It’s where trends become alive and you’re able to learn where your sector is headed and take notes to maintain your competitive edge;
- Meet along with true professionals and experts drawn in by the right product portfolio and the educational program, and build lasting and meaningful connections;
- Learn all there is to learn about how to circumvent certain professional roadblocks and challenges on a larger scale through the latest expert advice.
