Karen Cooke, head of exhibitions at show organisers ATE, believes that January’s show could be the most successful on record, as she explained: “I-gaming suppliers have traditionally confirmed their presence at ICEi at a much later stage. The high levels of business reported at the 2005 show combined with a limited supply of floor space available in 2006 have resulted in the floor being filled at a much faster rate this year.” Cooke added: “We have purposely ring-fenced a substantial area of Earls Court 2 for dedicated i-gaming companies in order to deliver the best possible package to buyers attending January’s show.”
It's all about poker...
The next conference in River City Group's I-Gaming InDepth series will focus on the highly topical subject of interactive poker and will take place in the Bahamas over December 8 and 9 this year.
The organisers say that the agenda will feature a stellar array of speakers on issues that warrant deeper discussion than the typical I-gaming conference schedule can provide and will furnish delegates with education, networking and competitive Intelligence opportunities.
