About ICE

ICE returned to Fira Barcelona Gran Via on 19–21 January 2026 for its second Barcelona edition. The show gathers operators, platform providers, regulators, innovators and fast-growing challengers from across global iGaming.

Its stated aim is to link international industry leaders with Europe’s highest-potential gaming markets, which makes it a strong starting point for any expansion plan.

    A stop for anyone working on safer gambling, player protection and compliance.
