"In addition to what is a long list of iconic products, ICE has also served as the place where the industry chooses to meet and where the landmark decisions that have shaped the industry are made. The ICE Landmarks are inspired by the show's status on the world stage and serve as a recognition that ICE continues to be where the industry celebrates historic events," he added.
