Over 200 prominent professionals from the gaming industry have eagerly accepted invitations to the ICE London 2023 Ampersand event. Taking place on October 10th at Top Golf Las Vegas, the gathering coincides with the opening day of G2E (Global Gaming Expo) and is set to foster collaborative discussions among thought leaders, influencers, and innovators in North America’s gaming and betting industry. Embracing the successful Open Space format, this event seeks to provide an empowering platform for participants to shape the day’s agenda and engage in candid, free-flowing conversations without traditional speakers or moderators. The outcome of these discussions will contribute valuable insights to the gaming industry and play a pivotal role in refining future events such as ICE London.
Empowering Collaboration: The Open Space Format:
Inspired by the history of Ampersand Open Space assemblies hosted by Clarion Gaming in Las Vegas, the ICE London 2023 Ampersand event aims to facilitate meaningful conversations and meaningful networking opportunities. Embracing the Open Space format, participants have the unique opportunity to drive the agenda, share their expertise, and address shared challenges within the gaming industry. This inclusive approach encourages a diverse range of perspectives, promoting collaboration and empowering each attendee to contribute their thoughts and experiences.
Ewa Bakun’s Vision for the Day:
Ewa Bakun, Head of Insight and Industry Engagement at Clarion Gaming, expressed her vision for the event, highlighting the importance of Open Space in fostering relevant and impactful discussions. Drawing on the successful experience of the ICE Symposium held earlier in London, as well as past Ampersand meetings in both London and Las Vegas, the Open Space format’s effectiveness is well-documented. Bakun emphasizes the value of customer-driven insights to shape the ICE experience, ensuring the event remains dynamic and responsive to the rapidly evolving gaming industry.
The Gold Dust of Open Space Meetings:
From the perspective of event organizers, the outcomes of Open Space meetings are invaluable. By relying on direct insights from attendees, rather than assumptions or anecdotal information, event organizers gain a deep understanding of industry needs and challenges. This customer-centric approach is vital in ensuring that in-person events remain relevant and meaningful, particularly in an industry as fast-paced and dynamic as gaming.
Culminating with a Reception in Las Vegas:
The ICE London 2023 Ampersand event promises to be a memorable day of interactive discussions and networking. As the event concludes, attendees will come together to celebrate Ampersand’s return to Las Vegas after a two-year absence. This reception will provide further opportunities for industry leaders to connect and share their experiences, solidifying partnerships and fostering future collaborations within the gaming community.
The ICE London 2023 Ampersand event represents a groundbreaking opportunity for gaming industry professionals to convene and collaborate in an empowering and innovative format. By embracing the Open Space format, this event puts the power of shaping the agenda and driving meaningful conversations in the hands of attendees. With a focus on customer-driven insights, this unique gathering promises to provide invaluable contributions to the gaming industry, shaping the future of events such as ICE London, and fostering a stronger, more connected gaming community.
