Registrations up 100% as iGB L!VE consolidates its position as igaming’s fastest growing expo
The number of industry professionals registering to attend July’s edition of iGB L!VE, the last to be held in Amsterdam prior to its 2025 relocation to London, is more than double that achieved at the same stage of last year’s record-breaking campaign.
According to the latest data released by Clarion Gaming over 2,000 applications have been received as of 10 May, a figure which underlines iGB L!VE’s status as the global business event which connects the leading igaming affiliates, operators, tech vendors, game providers and suppliers.
Confirming the unprecedented response Portfolio Director Naomi Barton said: “iGB L!VE is already the industry’s fastest growing business event and to be so far ahead of last year’s campaign which culminated in a record unique attendance of 7,299 (+44% y-o-y) and 14,500 on-site visits is of course massively encouraging.
“There are unparalleled business growth opportunities awaiting iGB L!VE attendees with the show providing free access to in excess of 300 exhibitors and sponsors occupying 21,000+ square metres of gross space, a figure which is 35% higher than in 2023.
She added: “Each metric that we reference is in positive territory and I am confident that everything is in place for the anticipated 9,000+ iGB L!VE attendees to celebrate the fantastic times enjoyed by everyone in Amsterdam and to look forward to the next exciting chapter opening in London, which of course is the home of igaming.”
