DEIB at ICE 2025

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at ICE Barcelona 

DEIB as part of your business growth and successful expansion strategy  

Continuing ICE’s efforts to raise awareness of the importance of DEIB in the gambling industry, and following the open consultation with the industry in August-September 2024, ICE Barcelona is stepping up its initiatives to offer itself as a platform for advocacy and to effect change.  

Advocacy and change have been ranked as the key objectives for engaging with the show’s DEIB initiatives, as expressed by close to 30 participants in the consultation calls.  

Details are being finalized, but here is what to expect and how to get involved:

ICE DEIB Allyship Programme 

Are you passionate about, and invested in, effecting change and showing support for DEIB in our industry?  

Do you have access, credibility and trust within various underrepresented networks and within your organisations to advocate for change and show up as an ally?  

If so, please join ICE Barcelona’s DEIB Allyship programme to help us spread the message and enjoy a number of benefits, including DEIB Ally positioning as part of the ICE campaign and passes/invitations to some exclusive ICE events for you and your team members from underrepresented groups.

Allyship meet-ups 

Launched successfully last year, these three networking events celebrate inclusion, bringing together those from underrepresented groups and their allies to benefit from the power of shared experiences (on both the personal and professional levels) and networking to indicate role models and connect with like-minded professionals.  

Each highlights an underrepresented group (People of Colour on Monday, 20 January, LGBTQ+ on Tuesday, 21 January and Women on Wednesday, 22 January). Our meet-ups are open to all for 60 minutes of connecting, laughing, socializing and being inspired.

DEIB Training and Education  

We want to make DEIB education as accessible as possible to a diversity of people attending ICE, whether you are a company leader in charge of your business’s long-term success, a sales or business development executive whose priority at ICE is to drive your company’s commercial success, a member of an underrepresented group looking for practical skills to up your ante or build your network, or a DEIB professional driving the inclusion strategy in your organization.  

We recognize that people experience ICE differently, have different priorities and responsibilities at the event and manage their time differently. 

For that reason, instead of one day seminar as organized in previous years, we will be offering shorter sessions, spread across the three days of the event, at various times of the day and offering different types of education:

DEIB training sessions

Inclusive leadership: The CEO of the 21st century

Businesses with diverse teams fostered by inclusive environments deliver better commercial results – no question. How does the qualities of the leader need to adapt to foster such environments?  

This inspirational session, designed specifically for C-level executives, will focus on the essential qualities of a 21st-century leader, strategies to foster an inclusive workplace culture, and enhance their ability to drive innovation through diversity.  

Join not only to bolster your leadership skills but more importantly learn the competitive edge for your business. 

Driving change in your teams: Inclusive leadership for managers

Date and location coming soon

We’re used to saying that change needs to be driven from the top, but it’s actually down to the managers to implement it.

As a team or business unit leader, you have an incredible power to turn strategy into practice and create a day to day working environment that retains talented and diverse workforce.

This session, drawing from the existing practice, will offer some practical tips on the tactics, including flexible working, using KPIs and appraisals, and identifying and dealing with discriminative situations at work.  

 Elevate your leadership through personal brand and confident presence

Date and location coming soon

Learn how to navigate the board rooms, teams and meetings in which you might often be the only one from an underrepresented demographic.

Grow your network, establish your influence, highlight your expertise and experience and advance in your career.

Be heard, request constructive feedback, actively contribute and exert your confident presence, while preserving your authentic self and changing, rather than adapting to, the world of work and business.  

DEIB strategy and practices

Date and location coming soon

Whether you’re experienced DEIB practitioner or only just starting to build your company’s DEIB strategy, this interactive session will review the critical and most effective parts of a DEIB strategy and discuss the latest experiences and challenges.
