More than 65,000 delegates from over 180 countries gathered at Fira Gran Via for ICE Barcelona, which Clarion Gaming described as the largest gathering in the history of the international gambling industry. Across the week, Clarion projected more than 1.25 million meetings and around 1.5 million total business engagements through World Gaming Week. iGB Affiliate once again attracted affiliates, operators, and marketing leaders from every corner of the regulated market. With more than 750 exhibitors on the floor and roughly 25,000 products and services on display, the affiliate community had no shortage of new tools, platforms, and partnerships to get stuck into. “Bringing together a projected 65,000-plus delegates from more than 180 countries, there is absolutely no doubt that this is the most important week in the gaming calendar,” said Stuart Hunter, Managing Director of Clarion Gaming. From packed networking lounges and regulatory roundtables to the dealmaking on the show floor and the after-hours conversations spilling out across Barcelona, ICE and iGB Affiliate 2026 more than lived up to its billing. The following pages capture the energy, faces, and moments that defined a landmark week. See you back in Barcelona for 2027! Photos courtesy of Clarion Gaming ona
