ICE London postponed until 2022
Clarion Gaming cancels this year’s June event over Covid-19 concerns of customer base
ICE London will not take place in 2021 due to concerns over the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The mammoth event was scheduled to go ahead at the end of June having already been moved from its original February slot due to the UK’s high prevalence of coronavirus cases.
The next edition of ICE London will now take place at ExCeL London between 1-3 February 2022, followed immediately by iGB Affiliate London.
Event organiser Clarion Gaming said the decision had been made following requests from its customer base and international community of stakeholders.
“Both the ICE London and iGB Affiliate London brands have been successful because they have consistently worked with, and listened to, the needs of their respective customers,” said Clarion Gaming MD Stuart Hunter.
“The soundings we’ve taken and the ongoing conversations we are having with exhibitors of all sizes across both events have shown continued and significant uncertainty about the year ahead.
“Exhibitors have expressed a desire to put the experiences of the last 12 months behind them and instead focus their collective energy and creativity into making the 2022 editions into memorable in-person celebrations,” he added.
Clarion Gaming’s flagship iGB Live! event in Amsterdam is still scheduled to take place in September 2021.
