The next edition of ICE London will open in June at the ExCeL London Exhibition Center. The organizers have just announced that the international fair will take place on June 29, 30 and July 1.
iGB Live 2021 will also move from September 28 to October 1 in Amsterdam, to ensure “a cohesive and effective events calendar for all audiences”.
As a consequence of the impact of Covid-19 and the continuing uncertainty in our markets, the decision to move the events into the summer of 2021 has been 'necessary' with the decision following a 'close consultation with the international community of stakeholders', many of which requested more time for the industry and the world economy to stabilize, including a relaxation of regulations related to international business travel.
Kate Chambers, managing director, Clarion Gaming, said: “Our initial proposal was to migrate ICE London and iGB Affiliate London from their historical February date to April 2021 due to force majeure.
“Subsequently, we have taken additional steps to review this in light of the government’s updated measures announced on 22 September 2020 and in the interests of our stakeholders. As a result, we have secured a later date week commencing 28 June. "
“This extension provides a number of important advantages compared with April, not least enabling the very best possible space configurations and accessibility at ExCeL London. We believe this is paramount in order to support all of our client’s requirements, whilst underpinning our vision for the 2021 events.
"As well as the significant logistical benefits, we are also very much aware that it provides additional market recovery time - which we believe will further enhance and support the delivery, outcomes and experiences for all participants."
Stuart Hunter, managing director of events at Clarion Gaming, commented: “Looking ahead, our plan is for ICE and IGB to be broadcast live globally for the very first time. There will be a host of new digital features offering in-person attendees an even more dynamic and hybrid experience, whilst extending our global reach and supporting all of our gaming communities digitally. "
"New platforms for networking, learning, entertainment and business development are in planning to ensure that ICE London and iGB Affiliate London continue to support the industry, raise morals and kick-start a global celebration of gaming."
