ICE welcomes the ‘world of gaming’ to Barcelona

120,000 square metres of innovation presented by some 1,000 exhibitors is the prospect awaiting visitors arriving in Barcelona to be part of the annual gambling showcase, the first to be staged outside the UK. Both ICE and iGB Affiliate are officially sold out with Clarion Gaming confirming that it is operating a waiting list for 2026.

A Skywalk delivers an elevated perspective on the show floor and provides visitors with straightforward and swift access to the product zones that they require. To help visitors explore the full potential of the flagship event, Clarion has invested in ICE Ai, an enhanced customer tool which provides information on everything the industry-defining expo has to offer.

The relocation to Fira Gran Via Barcelona has provided opportunities to add new features and enhance existing ones. The first ICE ‘Association Assembly’ has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography.

What was previously ICE VOX has been rebranded The World Gaming Forum (WGF).  The name more accurately reflects the credentials of events including the World Regulatory Briefing, the new Casino & Leaders Conference (formerly the ICC), and the new Esports & Games Conference – formerly the Esports Betting Conference.

Situated at the heart of the Fira Gran Via Barcelona, the WGF features an exclusive club-style VIP Lounge, a dedicated networking garden, and access to a range of concierge services.

The rebranded Sustainable Gambling Zone, sponsored by Flutter Entertainment, features 26 safer gambling bodies and underlines the importance that the industry places on sustainability and player protection.
