Per Jaldung, president of ECA (European Casino Association), says that the association fully supports the decision to hold the event. ICE London 2022 represents the 15th year of cooperation between the Clarion event and ECA.
Jaldung said: “There is no doubt that covid-19 has had a devastating effect on ECA members. European operators with physical locations have seen their revenues drop by more than 50% in the past twelve months – the biggest drop in the history of the This is how it is, but as an industry, we are super resistant and we are preparing for when we will be able to receive visitors again and operate with confidence and optimism “.
“ICE London 2022 will be the first great opportunity for ECA members to meet as a group, share their experiences, analyze and discuss recovery strategies in detail. Innovation, in terms of products and services, will be central to recovery, and there is no better time to show innovation to the world than ICE “.
He added: “ECA’s relationship with ICE was formalized in 2008, a year after ECA was registered in Brussels. Even before that, casino managers had met at ICE since 1995 and I like to think that ECA and its members, who employ an estimated total of 70,000 people, have made a significant contribution to the success of ICE “.
“ECA fully supports Clarion’s decision to hold the next ICE in February, and we are confident that the industry and our members will see each other again in London. I hope that ICE London 2022 will be a celebration of the industry, its resilience and your ability to bounce and come back stronger than ever.
“In partnership with ICE CEO Stuart Hunter, I look forward to announcing future collaboration initiatives both before ICE London and during the event itself, while the industry is on the road to recovery,” concluded Jaldung.
