Clarion Gaming has recruited international broadcaster and former Financial Times journalist Nadine Dereza to preview the ICE VOX programme of speakers and content taking place in February.
Fresh from presenting for the CNBC business and financial news network, Dereza joined Clarion’s global content director, Robin Harrison, to discuss the gaming conference in a special half-hour broadcast that’s available on-demand at ICE London.
The journalist will also be chairing the World Regulatory Briefing, which comprises two days of informed debate among international policymakers, regulators and industry leaders.
Looking ahead to February’s event, Dereza said: “The theme for ICE 2024 is all about MORE: MORE connections, MORE inspiration and MORE learning, and that theme is reflected in the content, and calibre of speakers across ICE.
“Whether that’s the World Regulatory Briefing, International Casino Conference, Esports Betting Conference, or the practical workshops that delegates can register for, ICE VOX is delivering MORE content and inspiration than ever before making it one of those extremely rare events which industry leaders cannot and do not miss.”
“In many ways, ICE VOX is the Davos of gaming bringing global influencers, thought-leaders and policymakers together in one not-to-be-missed annual event,” she added.
The preview broadcast provides a taster of February’s content introducing a list of contributors which Clarion says reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ of international gaming and policy making.
The cast includes MGM Resorts CEO and President Bill Hornbuckle; Simon Thomas, Executive Chair of London’s Hippodrome Casino; Isabelle Falque Pierrotin, Chair of both the French Gambling Authority and GREF; South Africa’s Caroline Kongwa, the Vice President of IAGR; the UK Gambling Commission’s Tim Miller; the UK’s former Attorney General and Culture Secretary, Sir Jeremy Wright; Stéphan Vojetta, a Member of France’s National Assembly; and Rachel Gundy, Head of Product at Betr.
The list further features Ivan Rudyi, Head of the Ukrainian Commission for Regulation on Gambling and Lotteries; Viktoriya Zakrevskaya, Deputy Chairman of the Ukrainian Gambling Council; Carolyn Harris MP; former Private Secretary to the leader of the Labour Party Sir Keir Starmer; Corey Plummer, CEO of Olympic Entertainment and Olybet; René Jansen, the Chairman of the Dutch regulator; David Leslie, Director of Ethics and Responsible Innovation Research at The Alan Turing Institute; Alec Esteban Thomson, Executive Director of the Arizona Lottery; and Olabimpe Akingba, Executive Secretary Association of the Nigerian Bookmakers.
Clarion Gaming’s Sadie Walters, who leads the team responsible for curating ICE VOX, said: “We are delighted to have someone of Nadine Dereza’s profile helping to deliver ICE VOX. Nadine is an award-winning journalist and an experienced business presenter who has worked for the BBC, CNN, SABC and Sky TV. She was awarded ‘Financial Journalist of the Year’ during her time at the FT and has worked with the full business spectrum from CEOs of the FTSE 100/Fortune 500 to start-up entrepreneurs.”
“ICE VOX 2024 will be the industry’s most content-rich experience on record and we have drawn on Nadine’s broadcasting pedigree alongside the industry knowledge and expertise of Clarion’s Global Content Director, Robin Harrison to preview some of the must-see speakers who will be appearing at ICE VOX in February.”
In December, Clarion Gaming announced the lineup of its Esports
Betting Conference (EBC). The event is being held on February 8 at the ICC Capital Suite, part of the ExCeL London venue, where the ICE London trade expo takes place.
