Interested in attending an event? make ICE your first port of call,

Organising an event? ICE is a free of charge key resource to ensure
that details of your event are circulated quickly to a wide, industry
specific global audience. Use ICE to help you avoid conflicts with
similar events being held either locally or internationally. You can
view planned events by type and make decisions as to the style and
theme of your future event. Make your event a success, attract a wider
audience, increase exposure, advertise on ICE.

Who uses ICE?

Since ICE was launched in January 2007 over 550 international events
have been advertised to more than 35,000 visitors. At any one time
there are around 100 events advertised. ICE includes an RSS

readers within a few minutes of an event being added.

Can our website link to ICE as a service to our clients, students and

use of the ICE logo at the top of this page, it is a hyperlink. If you

How do I use ICE?

ICE is very easy to use. To add a new event simply select the 'add'
option from the ICE homepage, enter your event details and most
important, enter an email address and a useful password; you will need
these if you want to edit your event in the future. You retain
complete control of your own event, changing the content as and when
you need to.  Your event will be removed automatically the day after
it takes place.

If you are interested in attending an event use the 'Quick Search'
option which will list all events in a chosen period. You can also use
the advanced search tool to query by location, date, event type and
more.
