LAST ICE(i) FOR KAREN
13 February 2009
Clarion Gaming's exhibitions chief steps down
Industry people exhibiting and attending the must-visit
ATEI, ICE(i) and International Gaming Expo shows in
London each year will not be seeing the friendly and
efficient Karen Cooke at these venues next year. Clarion
Gaming’s head of exhibitions announced her decision to
step down this week.
Cooke, who has a wealth of
experience in the gaming and gambling sectors, ends a
nine-year association with the exhibitions, the last
four of which she spent at the helm of the shows.
Explaining her decision, she confirmed: “I have
experienced the exhibitions first as an exhibitor and
then an organiser. Professionally, 2009 was a very
successful show and I feel comfortable that now is the
right time to take some time out and recharge the
batteries. I will then be taking up another role within
the gaming industry. I have been flattered and heartened
by the good wishes I have received from members of both
the gaming and amusements sectors since news of my
decision broke.”
Peter Rusbridge, Chief Executive
of Clarion Gaming, stated: “Karen is a one-off and we
are very sad to see her go. She played a central role in
smoothing the integration of the shows into the Clarion
portfolio and was pivotal in the development and
successful launch of the International Gaming Expo. But
she is leaving the shows in the capable hands of the
existing and highly experienced team, which has already
commenced planning for 2010.”
