ICE plans to take full-advantage of the additional space and enhanced facilities at the Fira Gran Via Barcelona, which offers to launch the World Gaming Forum (WGF), an immersive three-day learning, networking and knowledge sharing exchange.

Expanding on the creation of the WGF, Clarion Gaming’s managing director Stuart Hunter, who is leading the project to migrate ICE and iGB Affiliate from London to Barcelona, explained: “The move to Barcelona was all about the opportunity our new home provided to elevate absolutely everything that we do and in the process build on our status at the intersection for all sectors of the global gaming business and drawn from all areas of the globe.

“The World Gaming Forum has been adopted to more accurately reflect the credentials of our industry-leading brands comprising the World Regulatory Briefing, the new Casino & Leaders Conference and the new Esports & Games Conference.”

He added: “The outstanding facilities at the Fira Gran Via Barcelona, which is one of the largest and most modern venues in Europe, reflects the World Gaming Forum’s status as the premier platform for discussion, knowledge sharing and collaboration between the global gambling industry and the law makers who regulate them.”
