The attendance at ICE 2015 has been audited at 25,497, up eight per cent on the 2014 total and a new record for the event.
The figure is 15 per cent higher than in 2013, the year the event was first held at ExCeL London. Visitors from the UK accounted for 41 per cent of attendees (10,717) with Germany topping the international visitor table followed by the US.
Kate Chambers, director responsible for organiser Clarion Events' portfolio of gaming brands, said: “On behalf of the entire Clarion team I would like to place on record our sincere thanks to the exhibitors, visitors, trade association partners, speakers, delegates, regulators and our friends in the international gaming media community, who all played significant roles in making ICE 2015 not only the best edition in the event's history but also the best event that I have ever worked on in any sector.”
Marketing director Jo Mayer added: “Through our marketing we work extremely hard to deliver the right calibre audience for our exhibitors and the 2015 figures confirm that over 8,000 operators were in attendance, representing 46 per cent of the overall audience - a 10 per cent increase year-on-year.
“Similarly the number of final decision makers at ICE grew by 13 per cent in 2015, registering 28 per cent of the overall audience.”
