Getting Africa on ICE: A Truly Inspiring Project for all Involved
Published June 29, 2018 by Lee R
The chance to implement and expand iGaming regulation in Africa is historic.
In no region of the world more than Africa is the importance of ICE events evident.
The Opportunity
The new opportunities for engagement in African Gaming were abundantly clear as the incredible gathering of gaming sectors at Gaming Africa 2017, giving rise to the upcoming ICE Africa to stretch ICE beyond its London border and give the industry another chance to meet, greet, network, and see the very latest gaming innovations while sharing best practices across an incredibly unique environment.
The Marketing Campaign
With the contemporary campaign themed “It’s Time,” Clarion’s launch of ICE Africa will take place across the 24th and 25th of October 2018 at South Africa’s Sandton Convention Centre.
The print and digital campaign will be comprised of extensive PR, advertising, sponsorship, experiential and direct marketing across dedicated social media to bring the emergence of Africa as a growth market in gaming to the world.
The Epochal Introduction
The bringing of ICE into Africa marks the first occasion that the world's leading gaming event brand has travelled outside its original London headquarters.
Clarion couldn’t be more eager to lead the charge into Africa.
