A major international congress to experience from Hotel Continental
Barcelona once again takes centre stage on the international map of major professional events with the celebration of the ICE Gaming Congress, one of the world’s most relevant gatherings in the fields of gaming, technology and digital entertainment.
From 19 to 21 January 2026, the city will welcome thousands of professionals from all continents: companies, experts, innovation leaders, investors and key stakeholders from a rapidly evolving sector. This is a meeting point that brings together business, knowledge, trends and networking, while reinforcing Barcelona’s position as an open, dynamic city connected to the future.
A congress that sets trends
ICE is much more than a professional trade fair. It is a space to analyse the main challenges and opportunities facing the sector: digitalisation, technological innovation, regulation, sustainability, user experience and the evolution of business models linked to this industry.
With a wide-ranging programme of conferences, round tables and presentations, ICE becomes a source of inspiration and learning, a place to share perspectives, build alliances and anticipate the direction of a constantly changing global industry.
Barcelona, a city of congresses and knowledge
Barcelona’s choice as host city is no coincidence. The city stands out for its ability to host large-scale international events, its innovative ecosystem and its high quality of life. Added to this are its Mediterranean character, its rich cultural and gastronomic offer, and its excellent connectivity.
For those attending ICE, the experience goes beyond the exhibition venue: it is also an opportunity to discover a vibrant, creative and welcoming city, where work naturally coexists with enjoyment, culture and leisurely walks.
Staying in the heart of the city
From Hotel Continental Barcelona, located at La Rambla 138, or from Hotel Continental Palacete, at Rambla de Catalunya 30, we invite you to experience the congress from a truly privileged location. Our hotels allow you to comfortably combine professional commitments with the pleasure of staying right in the city centre, just a short walk from iconic landmarks, shopping areas and with excellent connections to all parts of Barcelona.
After an intense day of meetings and conferences, there is nothing better than returning to the heart of the city, enjoying a calm and welcoming atmosphere, and letting yourself be carried away by Barcelona’s unhurried rhythm as evening falls. You will also be able to enjoy our complimentary 24-hour buffet, always available for our guests.
ICE and the commitment to a responsible future
In a global context marked by technological transformation, events such as ICE also invite reflection on the social, economic and cultural impact of innovation. Dialogue between companies, institutions and professionals is essential to move towards development models that are more responsible, inclusive and sustainable.
Barcelona offers the ideal setting for these conversations: a city committed to balancing progress, wellbeing and respect for people and the environment.
A professional plan with added value
If you are visiting Barcelona to attend the ICE Gaming Congress, we invite you to take the opportunity to discover the city from within, with time, curiosity and sensitivity. At Hotel Continental, we will be delighted to accompany you during your stay and help you enjoy Barcelona beyond the congress.
Because major events are experienced even better when they connect with the city, its culture and its way of being in the world.
See you soon!
