ICE London has doubled in size since 2012

[The Buzz]

Next month's ICE London show at the ExCeL (February 5-7) will break the 600-exhibitor barrier for the first time and is now twice the size as it was back in 2012.

From InterGame:

The latest figure is 612 exhibitors from 66 countries, an increase on the 589 exhibitors from 65 countries last year. The show this year occupies 38 of the 44 halls - two more than 2018 - at ExCeL

Clarion Gaming managing director Kate Chambers, who has led the expansion of the show over the years, said: “The starting point for any exhibition is its exhibitors: great exhibitors attract serious buyers and the more buyers you can attract, the more exhibitors are interested in your event and so the process goes on.

"With this in mind, we have worked extremely hard to attract the most innovative organisations in world gaming onto the ICE London show floor and I am delighted that we have succeeded in breaking through the 600 figure in light of what that means for our huge community of visitors who travel to ICE London to be inspired." She added: “The net floor space has grown from the 2018 figure of 43,500sq.m to 45,500sq.m, an increase of just under five per cent. I would like to stress that this isn’t a one-off spike in demand, but part of a trend that stretches back to 2012, when the show floor comprised 22,500sq.m."

First time I attended ICE I was blown away, very impressive. I came from an industry that was known for it's massive events but ICE really knocks it out of the park. Looking forward to ICE and LAC again this year.

That’s good news. At the rate they’re increasing in their number of visitors, business and competition will hopefully keep growing and flourishing along with it.

It's going to be big this year, after almost 3 years since I've last visited ICE I'm going to do it again this year

It was huge! I have blisters just from trying to find people for meetings!

Actually, both ICE and LAC were huge. Have attended both and at the end of the week couldn't feel my legs. Think there should be a break of a day or two between the shows to get some rest!

ICE was so big this time.. walking inside felt like there's no end

It is great to see where the stolen are being burnt.
