Sports Betting News | Clarion Gaming, organisers of ICE Barcelona, the world’s premier business event for the global gaming and sports betting industry, has announced that nominations are now open for the 2026 ICE Landmark Awards.

The annual awards programme celebrates organisations and individuals whose innovation, leadership, and dedication have helped shape the global gaming and sports betting landscape. First launched at the ICE show floor in 2019, the Landmark Awards are open to operators, suppliers, technology providers, affiliates, and businesses across every gaming vertical and jurisdiction.

Margaret Dunn, Portfolio Director at Clarion Gaming, said:

“The Landmark Awards were created to recognise the people and businesses that are setting new standards and inspiring others. Each year we celebrate achievements that reflect the very best of this industry — from game design, technology innovation, and sports betting solutions, to sustainability, safer gambling, and community impact.”

Looking ahead to what is expected to be the largest gathering of gaming professionals in history, with over 60,000 attendees projected, Margaret added:

“ICE Barcelona is where the global gaming and sports betting community meets to share ideas, forge partnerships, launch new technologies, and shape the future of the industry. The ICE Landmark Awards celebrate the creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurialism driving progress across our sector.”
