Introducing ICE North America
For a long time, the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) has been the ultimate US show when it comes to gaming discussions and innovations. Alternatively, ICE remained on European soil, dominating across the continent and further expanding into new territories like Africa.
ICE VOX North America has resulted from this tendency. The event will run from May 13-15 and is set to take place in the Boston Convention Centre. As illustrated on the official website, the five main pillars of this event are:
- Sports Betting
- Interactive Gaming
- ESports
- iLottery
- Affiliate Marketing
Strong Focus on Sports Betting
It seems the focus of this year’s event is sports betting. The extensive range of tech discussions and exhibitions set to be showcased around the topic is only proof of this. Keith O’Loughlin from Senior VP Sportsbook, SG Digital, has put this balance between sports betting and innovations quite nicely:
ICE North America will be a massively impactful event. We’re thrilled to support Clarion in their vision of creating a space for thought leaders, manufacturers, and operators to showcase the latest in gaming technology. We’re at a cornerstone in the history of betting in the States, and it’s great to see Clarion at the heart of the change, giving providers a platform to showcase the latest and greatest technology.Keith O’Loughlin
Keep Your Eyes Open for Top Panels
A top panel recommended to ICE North America visitors is precisely one that further addresses the focus on technology rather than betting itself in the US. Founder and president of Applied Management Strategies, Roy Student, is the speaker for this specific panel named, “Adopting Technology to Reinvent the IR Experience”.
While amenities increase in importance as the revenue generator, technology is what will underlie gaming and non-gaming offerings to create a fully immersive and smooth experience.Roy Student
Invited Speakers
The state of flux that US betting and gambling practices have found themselves in recently could be properly resolved through such ‘integrated resorts’. Roy Student is set to address the future of US casinos and gambling establishments and has invited a number of MVPs to contribute to the discussion, including:
Bobby Soper
Ryan Carrier
Walt Fales
Oliver Akinrele
