The partnership is the latest strategic alignment undertaken by Clarion and follows agreements struck last year with Spectrum Gaming and GamCrowd.
Kate Chambers, MD of Clarion Gaming - organisers
of ICE Totally Gaming-, stated: "Whilst ICE is a showcase for the global gaming
industry in all of its forms, the importance of well-run and professional
regional events should not be underestimated. The strategic partnership with
what is Africa’s premier gaming industry event, will enable us to work with an
organising team that shares our values and alongside exhibitors that we know
well.”
This is a very exciting opportunity and the start of a relationship that we
look forward to developing and building upon,” Chambers added.
"We’re really excited about partnering with the professional team from Clarion Gaming, that runs the world’s largest gaming event, ICE Totally Gaming in London,” said Percy Kwinda, CEO of Gambling Indaba. "We believe that Clarion Gaming will bring its instantly recognisable gaming brand, market knowledge and depth of expertise to Gambling Indaba and help us grow the event to a truly world-standard, worthy of reflecting the exciting developments taking place in gaming across Africa," Kwinda added.
"Following the move to Johannesburg, Gambling Indaba has grown in leaps and bounds and last year’s event saw attendance triple, with floorspace sold-out and global brands such as Novomatic, IGT, Scientific Games, Aruze, Aristocrat and others being represented. The event looks to underscore its importance on the global gaming calendar as the 'not to be missed' business networking event for any organisation looking to enter the burgeoning African market. Major African gaming operators such as Sun International and Peermont have already thrown their weight and endorsement behind the event," Kwinda concluded.
The 2017 event will feature increased slots, technical and compliance training opportunities delivered by world recognised service providers, as well as an increased focus on gaming disciplines such as sports betting, online, bingo and AWPs (LPMs).
