EGR and iGB L!VE have set out a partnership agreement which will see the EGR B2B Awards aligning with iGB L!VE’s relocation to London. The Awards, now in their 16th year, will take place on 3rd July 2025 with iGB L!VE taking residence at ExCeL London from 1st-4th July.
According to the companies, the decision to partner on the events in London, which is the “largest and most important” global hub of the regulated gaming market, reflects a shared commitment to add increased value for visitors, reduce travel demands and provide attendees with a more focused and impactful experience.
Naomi Barton, Global Portfolio Director, iGB Events, believes the partnership complements both brands. She stated: “We are extremely excited to be bringing iGB L!VE to London and fulfilling the potential of the brand in a city regarded as the home of igaming.”
“Having the hugely respected EGR B2B Awards alongside what is one of the fastest-growing shows in the gaming space is the perfect partnership. The EGR B2B Awards will run alongside iGB L!VE with the long-standing iGB Affiliate Awards taking place on Thursday 3 July.“

She added: “This joint approach by EGR and iGB L!VE underscores an absolute passion and shared commitment to delivering practical solutions for the igaming industry, creating valuable events that cater directly to what our customers need and want while saving them time by running events in one place at one time.
“People’s time and money is precious – this collaboration allows igaming customers to go to London and find everything they want and need in one place in July this year.“
Sam Compagnoni, Commercial Sales Director at EGR, commented: “I am thrilled that EGR is partnering with iGB L!VE to align the timing of the EGR B2B Awards with the exhibition.
“With more gaming events taking place every year, this partnership brings together the two original igaming media and event leaders to provide a more streamlined and efficient experience for the industry.
“At a time when others may focus on division, we are proud to be working together to better serve the gaming community. Our goal is creating a week where the focus is on learning, networking, and celebrating the industry’s successes.”
The EGR B2B Awards are known for recognizing excellence in service providers in the igaming industry and rewarding those truly leading the way in innovation, reliability and client service. The awards are adjudicated by Deloitte, continuing EGR’s pledge to ensure the judging process is the most stringent in the industry.
The 2025 ceremony will take place at the Roundhouse in Camden, providing a memorable setting for an evening of recognition and celebration, the company stated. Following three days of exhibitions, panels, and networking at iGB L!VE, the Awards offer attendees a chance to reflect on the past year’s achievements and come together as a community.
