ICE London shares Seminar programme
ICE Totally Gaming London 2018 has been scheduled from February 6 to 8.
UK.- ICE London (February 6-8, ExCeL London, UK) has underlined its credentials as a centre of learning for the international gaming community with confirmation of the free entry Seminar Programme that will take place both close to the show floor in the South Gallery of the ExCeL Centre, and on the show floor itself.
The eight strong seminar programme, which has been curated to complement the pay-to-attend ICE VOX conference stream, covers contemporary issues including Affiliate Marketing, Casino Trends, Diversity in Gaming, Research in Gaming, Gaming Start-Ups, Training, Opportunities in Italy and Conducting Business in Indian Country.
Dan Stone, Senior Marketing Manager, responsible for ICE London, said: “Our aim is to deliver a 360 degree perspective on the industry in order to complement the full range of equipment on the show floor at ICE London, which covers every gaming vertical. As well as providing the ICE VOX stream of paid content, we recognise that some ICE delegates will want a less intense learning experience, and may wish just to select one or two topics of interest as part of their ICE London experience. The seminar programme is current and informative, delivered by experts in their chosen field.”
The ICE Seminar programme comprises:
