ICE London 2018 when it featured eight pioneer exhibitors to its current size and prominent location which is adjacent to the main boulevard at ExCeL London. “Thanks to the generosity of industry supporters and sponsors the CPZ has succeeded in
raising £146,000 for gambling industry charities over the last three editions of ICE London and we are looking to build on that really impressive total. “With the return of the major supplier brands to the land-based sector and the prospect of a
