We went to the 2024 ICE conference in London to stay on top of industry trends and network. Here are our key takeaways.
At Enetpulse, we always strive to stay on top of what is happening in all areas of the sports industry. In February, we flew to London for the international gaming and gambling conference, ICE, to gain valuable insights, connect with industry peers, and get inspiration.
The conference did not disappoint, and we left with many impressions of how the industry is evolving and how to adapt to its ever-changing landscape.
while we got a lot of inspiration, we also dedicated time to catch up with clients and partners, to hear about their challenges and opportunities. ICE proved to be a great place to network with new potential clients and partners, with the atmosphere creating the perfect conditions for discussing potential business opportunities.
Hear more about our key takeaways from the conference in the video below.
What makes the Monaco race so interesting?
Monaco is the race that makes Formula 1 feel like a different sport. The streets are narrow, the margins are tiny, and the weekend builds like a thriller: practice hints, qualifying pressure, then a race where positioning and timing can matter as much as outright speed.
That’s why Monaco doesn’t just create highlight moments. It creates attention. Fans don’t drop in only for the finish line flag. They follow the weekend session by session, checking what’s coming up, what just happened, and how it changes the bigger picture.
A random fact: At around 3.337 km, Monaco is the shortest circuit on the F1 calendar. Maybe that’s what makes it so interesting?
Across the sports ecosystem, the same “public” reality is tracked again and again: competitions, games, teams, players, and venues. But the way these entities are identified varies from system to system, which creates repeated mapping work, unnecessary complexity, and avoidable data errors.
Today, Enetpulse and SportsDataIO are launching SportsDataExchange (SDX) to change that; a free, open set of identifiers built to help the entire sports technology ecosystem align around one shared standard.
In the 109-year history of the Giro d’Italia, the 2026 race start in Bulgaria will represent something genuinely new. For the first time, a Grand Tour will begin in Eastern Europe. The Bulgarian start marks a true expansion of cycling’s reach, bringing the sport to new audiences and landscapes. The opening stages of this year’s Giro will take the race through some of the biggest Bulgarian cities, like Nessebar, Burgas, Plovdiv, and Sofia. All cities that are familiar to our employees.
Enetpulse has an office in Sofia, so the Giro passing through the capital also matters to us. Our local team works close to where the race takes place, and is actually able to watch the peloton ride through the streets of Sofia from their desks.
Organizers have set the Bulgaria stages for 8-10 May 2026. After the opening weekend, the Giro continues into Italy for the rest of the race.
