With just one week to go
until the second edition of ICE Africa opens its doors to the industry at the
Sandton Convention Centre, South Africa, (2-3 October 2019) organisers, Clarion
Gaming, has confirmed that delegates from 29 African nations have registered to
attend. The geographical spread represents 85 percent of the African nations in
which gambling is regulated and underlines the event’s status as the
pan-African event for the industry. ICE Africa will also provide a
platform for 72 exhibitors, 26 from outside Africa and provide 15 hours of
learning delivered by a talent pool of 60+ thought leaders.
Daniel Tyler, Senior Conference Producer at Clarion Gaming, said: “I’m delighted
to be able to confirm the attendance of delegates from so many countries which
are at the forefront of the development of regulated gambling on the continent
of Africa. ICE Africa provides a professional meeting place for the entire A-Z
of African gaming and an opportunity for regulators to meet with the sector and
together help shape the future of the industry across the continent. The ICE
brand is recognised throughout the world for its ability to bring stakeholders
together in this way and I’m confident that the discussions and debates that
will take place on and off the show floor at ICE Africa will be fundamental to
the development of the gambling sector.”
John Kamara, the brand ambassador for ICE Africa and one of the most respected
thought leaders across the pan-African industry, believes next week’s event
will help develop a deeper understanding of the contribution gaming can make in
relation to the development of national economies. He confirmed: “By bringing
the contributions made by gambling to the forefront of the debate we can have
meaningful conversations concerning the far ranging benefits produced by a
robust, socially responsible gaming industry and what that means in terms of
employment, taxation and contributions to GDP. These are very exciting and
dynamic times for the industry in Africa and I am confident that ICE
Africa will play a pivotal role in its future development.”

Faso; Burundi; Cameroon; Chad; Djibouti; eSwantini; Ghana; Kenya; Lesotho;
