Talking ICE London with Harry von Behr

Harry von Behr, US managing director of Spotlight Sports Group provides his thoughts on what to expect from Spotlight Sports Group and others at this year’s ICE London conference.

As ICE London is nearly upon us, just how excited are you to get back to the ExCel for this year’s conference?

I’m looking forward to ICE a lot this year. It’s good to have it back in the regular February slot to get 2023 off to a strong start from a commercial perspective. It will be great to see many old and new faces – especially those that I haven’t had the chance to connect with in in-person since the pandemic.

What sets Spotlight Sports Group apart from the other 650+ exhibitors?

The breadth of what we can do in the sports betting space is unique. There will be other affiliates, data providers, content agencies and technology firms, but we provide all these services and more to our partners. Having done so for decades, we have a deep understanding of what best engages sports bettors.

Finally, what do you predict to be a key area the industry will be focusing on in 2023?

I predict we’ll see some potentially unexpected consolidation across the industry in 2023. While the cost of borrowing may limit this in the very short term, with the focus on reducing operating costs, combined with depressed public market valuations, M&A will create opportunities for businesses to come together and be more competitive when combined.
