Despite living in the digital age, where much of what we do involves virtual reality and artificial intelligence, it’s clear that in-person conferences and trade exhibitions still have an important role to play.

This is not only great news for the organisers, but the gaming industry in general, as it puts these events firmly on the global business map. But ICE was just the first in a series of successful trade fairs that so far this year have also included SBC Summit Rio. We had a short summary of the event last issue, but this month we’re bringing you a more in-depth review.
Then there’s SiGMA Africa, which took place last month, with SiGMA Americas just about to start. This will be followed by SBC Summit Americas in May, SiGMA Asia and SBC Summit Malta in June, and then the big SBC Summit Lisbon in September, with SiGMA Euro-Med and SiGMA Central Europe happening later in the year. So there are plenty of opportunities to network with other industry professionals and exchange ideas and best practice. This is vital for the health and sustained growth of the business, something that both founder of The Gaming Boardroom, Kate Chambers and CRO of BETER, Chuck Robinson touch on in this month’s industry interviews. And to further emphasise the importance of human contact, social gaming is the subject of our industry insider, Mark McGuinness’ guest column this month.
