Ice Landmark Awards 2026 celebrate the industry’s most influential leaders and companies
The international gambling industry’s most influential figures and organisations have been recognised at the annual Ice Landmark Awards, held during Ice Barcelona 2026. The awards celebrate milestone achievements and outstanding contributions across industry leadership, business development, innovation and community impact.
Designed to spotlight those shaping the future of gaming, the Landmark Awards recognise both long-standing excellence and transformative influence across the sector. Since their introduction at IceE 2019, the awards have honoured achievements spanning game design, technology, sustainability, safer gambling initiatives and regulatory development.
Commenting on this year’s honours, Margaret Dunn, Portfolio Director for Ice, said the awards exist to recognise individuals and businesses that set new standards and inspire the wider industry.
“The Landmark Awards shine a spotlight on the people and organisations shaping the gaming business,” Dunn said. “This year’s recipients embody the creativity, collaboration and entrepreneurial spirit that underpin the global gaming industry. They celebrate not only success, but the very spirit of the sector itself.”
