ICE London has been short-listed in three categories at the annual Association of Exhibition Organisers Awards, widely recognised for being the Oscars of the events industry.
The show has been confirmed as a finalist in both the Marketing Campaign of the Year, Trade and Best Use of Social Media categories with marketing co-ordinator Beth Welcomme shortlisted in the Unsung Hero section.
Reflecting on the award nominations, Kate Chambers, managing director of Clarion Gaming, said: “It’s immensely gratifying to be short-listed across three categories by our industry body, the AEO. Through a combination of hard work, creativity and the support of all of our stakeholders from throughout the world, we were able to once again grow ICE London.
“The 2018 edition was officially the biggest on record, hosting a total of 589 exhibitors from 65 nations, occupying 43,500sq.m of net space and 36 of the 44 halls at ExCeL London.
“To continually improve across all of our key performance indicators requires a huge commitment from the entire team at Clarion Gaming and I am delighted that Beth Welcomme has been named as an individual finalist, which is a great achievement.
“We are up against some formidable events but, irrespective of the final outcome, I believe the nominations are a tribute to all of the gaming professionals who in 2018 made the journey to be with us in London from an amazing 153 nations. Few annual events, if any, have this breadth of trans-national appeal.”
