Margaret Dunn Takes the Helm at ICE Barcelona
Margaret Dunn, an experienced event leader with a decade-long tenure at Easyfairs, has been appointed as the Portfolio Director for ICE Barcelona. This prestigious role, announced by Clarion Gaming Managing Director, Stuart Hunter, marks a significant milestone for the gaming industry.
Dunn's extensive background in managing and enhancing international exhibitions, magazines, award ceremonies, and digital products will be instrumental in shaping the future of ICE Barcelona. Her appointment comes at a crucial time, as ICE 2026 is set to be a transformative event for the gaming industry.
According to Dunn, ICE 2026 will focus on two key areas: championing the DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) program and supporting the award-winning Sustainable Gambling Zone[6][7]. These initiatives aim to reshape the gaming experience through innovation, attract more cutting-edge technology providers, and encourage the participation of more regulators.
Dunn's ambition is to grow the number of regulators at ICE 2026, believing that this will further shape the future of gambling policy. She also emphasised the unique opportunity ICE provides to effect change in the gaming industry.
Dunn expressed her excitement about working on a world-class event that impacts many businesses globally. She intends to work closely with the ICE team to achieve these objectives and make ICE 2026 a success.
Notably, Dunn was part of the team that successfully relocated ICE from London to Barcelona and organised the biggest gathering of gambling industry professionals to date[8]. Her leadership and experience at Easyfairs, combined with her passion for the gaming industry, make her an ideal choice for this role.
Prior to her appointment, Clarion Gaming won accolades at prestigious events industry awards[9]. With Dunn at the helm, the company aims to achieve ambitious growth targets and meet the needs of global customers.
As Dunn takes on this new challenge, the gaming industry eagerly awaits the innovations and changes that ICE 2026 will bring. With her extensive experience and clear vision, Dunn is poised to lead ICE Barcelona to new heights.
