The European Casino Association has once again chosen to endorse London's International Gaming Expo by renewing a contract until 2012 with the organiser Clarion Gaming.

Under the terms of the agreement the ECA’s International Casino Conference will continue to be held at Earls Court the day before the exhibition starts, while both parties will continue to cross-market their features and benefits throughout the year.

“We are delighted to build on our working relationship with Europe’s leading land-based gaming expo. It allows us to further support our members and to achieve our objectives on behalf of our members throughout Europe,” said Ron Goudsmit. “Both IGE and ICC are pinnacle events for our business and we look forward to January 2010 and beyond with renewed vigour.”
