However, in what is a rapidly changing situation it became clear that we could not provide the certainty that our customers need in terms of logistical planning from the construction of stands, transportation of equipment as well as the booking of flights and accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cThe ICE brand has always acted in the best interests of its customers and having consulted with members of the industry we have come to the conclusion that postponing until April represents the best route forward. \u201cIt is a great shame that we will not be able to celebrate our return in February but the brand and its international community of stakeholders will bounce back in Spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMyself and the management team at&nbsp;Clarion Gaming will be working through the Christmas week and hope to be in a position by <strong>next Wednesday (December 22)<\/strong> to confirm the new dates for ICE London and iGB Affiliate London 2022.
