A delegation from the Island's egaming sector is preparing to attend this year's ICE Totally Gaming event in London.

Government representatives will be joined by 15 local companies to promote the Island as a location for egaming business, including Sure, Manx Telecom, Wi-Manx and SMP.

Taking place between Tuesday, February 6 to Thursday, February 8 more than 30,000 attendees from around the globe will attend.

Department of Enterprise head of e-gaming Tony Ure says shows like ICE give the Isle of Man an opportunity to promote its services and make new contacts.
