Novomatic Give ICE Massive Backing
Apart from Novomatic's huge presence – the largest single stand in the history of ICE – a key feature of the latest exhibitor data released by the organisers is the overwhelming international flavour of the casino floor. As of 31st July no fewer than seven territories are represented in the top ten list of largest exhibitors with 11 featuring in the top 20. The top 20 line-up includes representatives from the UK, and Netherlands (three companies each), Austria, Germany, Spain, USA, and Slovenia (two) and one each from France, Italy, Monaco and Japan.
Outside of the top twenty, companies from Antigua, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Taiwan, Russia, South Africa and Sweden have all completed contracts to confirm their presence in London.
Karen Cooke, Sales Manager responsible for ICE said: "Six months ahead of the show we've contracted nearly 90% of the total exhibition space sold at ICE 2001 and already reserved more space than the total size of the 2001 event. The real internationalism of this event is crystallised by the line-up of contracted exhibitors in which no single country is dominant. This means that buyers travelling to ICE will get a global rather than a national perspective on the industry in which they operate."
