International Casino Conference

The International Casino Conference (ICC) brings together the who’s who of the global casino industry as leaders from around the world gather to discuss the future of the land-based sector.

The casino industry is going through a moment of evolution and adaptation. This candid and visionary conference allows the heads of industry to discuss new projects, gaming politics, emerging markets and developments, strategic design and the technology driving change in the sector.

Taking place the day before ICE gets underway in earnest, the ICC plays host to numerous industry stakeholders as well as thought-leaders from outside of the sector.
