Closing week for ICE Conferences Early Bird discount

LONDON (November 26) – Delegates wishing to attend the highly respected ICE Conference programme (3rd – 5th February, ExCeL London) have until Friday November 29th to take advantage of the Early Bird discount which provides a 22% reduction on the price of a Full Conference pass. The entire eight-strong programme comprises over 40 hours of targeted learning and networking and features 150 of gaming’s most eminent thought leaders.

Kate Chambers, Portfolio Director responsible for both ICE Totally Gaming and ICE Conferences said: “ICE is a compelling proposition precisely because it is both a commercial and an information exchange event. The exhibition and the conference programme complement each other and there’s a significant cross over between the two. If you look at the Conference titles, which in addition to the International Casino Conference, include World Regulatory Briefing, CRM Loyalty & Retention, Mobile Gaming, Cybercrime Security & Regulatory Compliance In Gaming, and Monetising Social Gaming as well as two brand new conference streams; Game Design & Development and Next Generation Lotteries, all of the topics are right at the centre of the gambling debate.

“The Conferences programme is an opportunity to engage, network and learn before meeting with the innovators and suppliers on the show floor who are interpreting trends, regulations and the latest thinking into commercial gaming solutions.”
