Agreed the main hotel is far away, but there should be a shuttle service to make use of. (it's useful as long as you don't miss the bus)

Hope to see/meet many of you there!

Team Breakout

Look forward to seeing everyone at our stand!

For the first few years I wore thongs (Australian for flip flops, get your mind out of the gutter). Yeah it was 0C but I don't care. I hate shoes. Although I've moved to the sneakers.

Wear what you're comfortable in. As Beacon said, most people wear jeans and a shirt. If you're worrying all day about being uncomfortable it won't be an enjoyable experience for you.

See you all there!

I normally go in nice bespoke suits to stuff like this. However, this year, I decided that I'm going for comfort. Jeans, sneakers, and company shirts. Screw it. I have no one to impress and quite frankly, I love flying with only carry-on baggage... it makes life so much more simple!

last minute decision to head to London from AUSTRALIA, to check out the gaming conference..

Where to start??

I've come across the ICE and LAC websites and have pre-registered for some networking tours and an event called "London Baby".

Any other events or things which are a must see/do for a first time visitor. I've never been to London either.

Thanks

I would also take some time to see ICE and LAC, not book the complete day with events and appointments. I did that the first time and I felt like was running from appointment to appointment.

I don't find the official events of affiliate conferences very interesting. Also the workshops. To me it seems that the speakers paid to present themselves there. Usually very basic, although sometimes you might hear just that one thing that was worth it.

Hawaiian shirt and a beer in your hand is more the dress code of this one.

Definitely check out ICE. It's one of those things that even if it's not business you should definitely see it once.

The bar at the official hotel will be packed every night of LAC. It's where everyone goes after the party and to be honest, some of the best nights have been had there with b(sh)anter and some random business deals. It's worth making friends with people on both sides of the fence as you just don't know when people will change sides.

PS - Enjoy the 20+ hour flight. I know I will be asleep the entire way over.

Hey Renee,

Was really interested in ICE seminar on US Sportsbetting legalisation, think that's the biggest talking point as far as I'm concerned this year.

Just to be clear, ICE and LAC are two seperate conferences, however housed in the same venue?
What are the costs involved to attend?

Yes, those ones are the official party. I attended one of them last year in Londen, but I didn't find it that interesting. Planned some dinners this year.

That usually depends on my chat up line. I prefer to drink em.

I must be getting old because I find myself having more fun in the hotel bar these days with the shanter. But it could also be that my music taste isn't the same that gets played at the parties.

The best party at a conference IMO was the last one I went to in Barcelona where it was at this HUGE house with a grass backyard and there was a DJ inside the house and outside everyone could sit around on the grass talking sh!t.

From memory it was the same night Rak got a taxi home at 5am and the taxi driver was joking about cutting him up into pieces.

Fun times.
