The excitement is building for the upcoming ICE X World Gaming Gala, set to kick off the prestigious ICE and iGB Affiliate social calendar on January 19, 2025. Hosted at the renowned Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, this invitation-only event promises to be an unforgettable evening for industry leaders and influencers alike.
A New Chapter for ICE and iGB Affiliate in Barcelona
Clarion Gaming’s announcement of the gala coincides with a monumental shift for both ICE and iGB Affiliate—the event’s relocation to Barcelona. The move marks the start of a new chapter for the two industry giants, and the Gala will set the tone for a week of business opportunities, networking, and celebration. With 600 influential gambling leaders in attendance, this event will bring together key players from across the industry to kickstart the week in grand fashion.
Stuart Hunter, Managing Director of Clarion Gaming, emphasized the significance of the gala as the first event in this historic relocation, stating, “Our relocation to Barcelona is a historic event, and we want to mark the occasion with a spectacular evening of hospitality and networking at the National Art Museum of Catalonia on Montjuïc Hill, offering stunning views across the city.”
The Tradition Continues with the WRA Event
As part of the gala, the traditional WRA (World Regulatory Award) event will also take place, which has previously been part of ICE’s opening day but will now be integrated into this exclusive meet-up. The WRA is an opportunity to celebrate regulatory achievements and excellence in the gambling industry, and its inclusion in the Gala adds an extra layer of prestige to the evening.
For industry leaders, the gala represents more than just an event—it’s a chance to reflect on the past and look ahead to the future. With the relocation to Barcelona, the opportunity to engage in discussions on industry growth, challenges, and opportunities is especially significant.
Day Zero: The Perfect Warm-Up
The ICE X World Gaming Gala will serve as the perfect warm-up for the week-long ICE and iGB Affiliate activities. Known as Day Zero, this gathering sets the stage for the social and business events that will follow. Attendees can expect to participate in a variety of social events, cultural experiences, and wellness activities, designed to facilitate connection and foster networking among the brightest minds in the gambling industry.
These icebreaker events will allow participants to unwind, explore new business opportunities, and strengthen their industry ties, making the gala an ideal introduction to a week of celebrations and collaboration.
Networking and Industry Opportunities Await
Throughout the evening, guests will have plenty of time to network with peers, explore potential business opportunities, and push forward the conversation on the industry’s future. With Barcelona’s vibrant atmosphere as the backdrop, the event promises to be both a cultural and professional experience, paving the way for deeper connections and valuable partnerships.
The ICE X World Gaming Gala is not just an event—it’s the beginning of a historic week that will be marked by discussions of innovation, growth, and the future of the gaming and affiliate sectors.
