In the light of the recent bellic events taking place after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Slotegrator announced Friday it has decided to withdraw from participation in ICE London 2022.
The gambling business solutions developer cancelled its plans to participate in the exhibition, which will take place April 12-14. The event organizer, Clarion Events, has already received notification from the company about this cancellation.
In an official statement, Slotegrator explained that its international team includes many employees from Ukraine. “They are doing their best to protect those who find themselves in a difficult situation and to provide them with shelter in the Czech Republic. They are providing family and friends of their employees with medical supplies, assistance, and safe housing”.
Yuriy Filipchenko, CEO of the company, commented on the decision and said: “Slotegrator is canceling its participation in ICE this year. Given the current situation, our thoughts and hearts are with our Ukrainian office. We, an international company, are categorically against any violence or aggression, especially military action. As such, our priorities are now focused on supporting our employees and their loved ones. I am sure that our customers and partners will understand our decision.”
However, the company stated that, in the future, it will be “happy to become ICE exhibitors again. In any event, Slotegrator values Clarion Events as an organization and ICE as an opportunity to increase our brand awareness and partnerships”.
Slotegrator employees are currently cooperating with volunteer and humanitarian organizations to provide assistance to victims of the military operation.
