Clarion Gaming and Gn Media launch Italian-focused dynamic partnership

• Clarion Gaming and Gn Media have teamed up for a new Italian-focused partnership, seeking to bring stakeholders together
• A private reception has been hosted, reuniting regulators, institutions industry representatives
• Gn Media has hailed this as a pivotal next step for the entire gaming system in Italy

Clarion Gaming and Gn Media have collaborated for a new strategic partnership described as "dynamic," which has already started in Rome, Italy, on November 4, 2025, and is set to continue evolving.

Gn Media is the host of the Italian Gaming Exhibition, a primary source of industry networking and business opportunities in one of Italy’s largest gaming markets. Gn Media Founder Alessio Crisantemi has hailed this partnership as "a pivotal step for the entire Italian gaming ecosystem" and is pinning high hopes on what is to follow.

The private reception and networking event hosted by the partners reunited influential industry insiders and officials, including representatives of the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli, the Italian gambling watchdog, as well as the Ministry of Home Affairs, AGCOM, Confcommercio, EUROMAT, and Confindustria.

Crisantemi said: "ICE isn’t just a trade show — it’s the gaming industry’s most influential platform for innovation, business development, and strategic thinking.

For Gn Media, the organisers of IGE and IGA, it means joining forces with what is the world’s leading player in the sector, creating a direct bridge between the Italian and international markets."

The goal is to foster an ongoing dialogue between the two worlds: on the one hand, bringing Italy to the global stage and on the other, bringing the global gaming industry to Italy. It’s a powerful strategic alliance built on our shared values of innovation, networking, sustainability, and responsibility."

This opportunity was welcomed in kind by Clarion Gaming’s Director of Industry Insights and Engagement, Ewa Bakun, who had this to add:

"Italy is among the most important European markets, and we are delighted to announce what is a really important strategic partnership with the team at Gn Media. It’s very important to stress that this is a long-term commitment. We will be working throughout the year on content, campaigns and connecting operators using the combined reach and influence of ICE and IGE.

We are committed to the development of a dynamic, meaningful and evolving collaboration which will deliver concrete actions designed to expand Italian participation at ICE and to attract more international players to Italy."
