The last London edition of the ICE Exhibition: Sends employees are sharing insights from the event
ICE is the global conference, home to 600+ international brands that provide access to financial products, gaming tech solutions, and innovations. Sends team visited the exhibition and here is a take on it.
ICE London 2024 opened on the 6th of February and lasted for three days at the ExCel exhibition center. This year the organizers broke the record of 811 exhibitors from 76 countries and created the biggest in its history Consumer Protection Zone.
This conference gathers the biggest players from financial, law, gaming, crypto markets to make them cooperate, and create new solutions and regulations. There are well-known Sumsub, BetConstruct, AWS, and many others among the participants.
“ICE London is a must-visit conference not only for the UK based companies but for every international player. It surprises everyone with its scale, diversity, and possibilities. We met partners and our colleagues, shared news, and gained experience. This is truly a celebration of technologies from all around the world“, commented Anastasiia Pervushyna, Director/MLRO in Sends. “ICE Esports Arena was something new for me this year. The industry is fast growing so we got new contacts to explore the area. New grounds, that is what I love about the ICE Exhibition“.
One of the shareholders (owners) Sends company is Alona Shevtsova, a businesswoman, philanthropist, and active participant in the Ukrainian and UK FinTech community.
“ICE London 2024 provided a fantastic opportunity to establish new connections within the industry, enhance business relationships with our clients, and showcase the remarkable and continuous transformation of our product portfolio. We are glad to participate in the last ICE in London and showcase our latest innovations in payment technology”, Alona Shevtsova added.
After an independent selection process, ICE organizers move to Fira Barcelona Gran Via in 2025. Next year this conference will be held in Europe which can bring new contacts and value for the participants. Sends company already plans the visit to Barcelona in January 2025 for the first ICE Conference in Europe. To stay in touch with Sends representatives, please use [email protected] email.

ICE Barcelona 2025: Alona Shevtsova on Sends’ Vision for the Future of Gaming
The Sends team attended the biggest and most famous gaming conference, ICE, now held in Barcelona, Spain. From the 20th to the 23rd of January, the leading gaming companies and solution providers gather for business meetings, experience sharing and networking. More than 170 countries visited, achieving the number of 55,000 visitors.
“Our team attends the ICE conference annually. Previously held in London, the financial capital and home to our head office, 2025 is the first time it’s hosted in Barcelona—and it remains as expansive and resourceful as ever. We’re thrilled to participate, connect with our partners, explore innovative solutions, and engage with market leaders. At Sends, we are committed to staying ahead in this dynamic industry, never missing an opportunity to gain fresh insights and experiences,” commented Alona Shevtsova, Director at Sends.
As the organisers of ICE 2025 said, after a rigorous, independent selection process, ICE and iGB Affiliate moved to Fira Barcelona Gran Via because Barcelona presents a compelling list of benefits, including improved logistics and operational efficiency. The location is close to Barcelona airport and is well connected to the public transport network, offering a world-class in-show and around-show experience.
It is worth mentioning that this February, Send will co-host its event in London for fintech companies. This is the third gathering in London to network and connect industry professionals. To get more information about the London Fintech Meetup, follow the link.
