Malta to be most represented country at ICE 2016

The Mediterranean island tops the ICE international league table with 34 exhibitors, followed by United States (23), Italy (18), Germany (13), Spain (11), Austria, Gibraltar & Slovenia (nine) and Cyprus, Czech Republic and Netherlands (eight each).

"These figures clearly demonstrate that ICE is the most international business-to-business gaming exhibition, both in terms of visitors and exhibitors" said Marketing Director Jo Mayer. "Including host nation, the UK, ICE visitors will have access to the very best gaming innovators from a total of 62 nations, a statistic which is unrivalled in the sector.

"The ability to meet, engage and discuss gaming solutions with innovators from throughout the world and in the process, get a truly international perspective as opposed to just a national or continental interpretation, goes some way to explaining why ICE represents such an invaluable opportunity for business and why so many industry professionals ensure they attend ICE – the pop-up gaming city where ideas flourish, contacts are made and where discussions are all about the future," she remarked.

The 2015 edition of ICE secured a record attendance of 25,497, drawn from 133 nations. The independently audited attendance represented an 8% increase on the 2014 figures and 15% up on 2013.
