The international industry has thrown its support behind iGB L!VE with the latest data showing a 53% year-on-year uptick in registrations from industry professionals based in 121 countries. 

The breadth of the geographical support which stretches from the United States to the United Arab Emirates, South Africa to Slovenia and Brazil to Belgium, confirms iGB L!VE’s growing status as one of gaming’s most powerful and compelling international business events.

iGB L!VE Portfolio Director, Naomi Barton stated: “I am delighted that the numbers are looking so healthy. The great news for those attendees who will be making the journey to the RAI Amsterdam from throughout the world is that they will have access to in excess of 300 exhibitors and sponsors occupying 21,000+ square metres of gross space, a figure which is 35% higher than in 2023.

“iGB L!VE is already igaming’s fastest growing business event and to be so far ahead of last year which culminated in a record unique attendance of 7,299 (+44% y-o-y)  and 14,500 on-site visits is massively encouraging.

“The geographic reach of the brand continues to grow with registrations received from literally all over the world. Whilst we need to see how this translates into physical attendance, iGB L!VE has I believe, underlined its status as a truly global brand and is now amongst the most international live events on the industry calendar.”

She added: “There’s a real buzz and energy about the brand and a level of engagement with the industry that’s off the scale. The combination of a dynamic show floor featuring so many of the industry’s most influential and exciting companies, new features, a compelling conference program, best in class networking opportunities and of course the opportunity to say a huge and heartfelt thanks to Amsterdam ahead of our 2025 relocation to London makes iGB L!VE 2024 simply unmissable.

“It will also fire the starting pistol on the countdown to London and all that means to the development of the brand and the opportunities it will deliver for its growing international stakeholder community drawn from every corner of the world.”
