Esports is considered to be one of the fastest growing industries worldwide, with a predicted market size of over $12bn by 2030 and a growing audience of over 475m active watchers globally. Recently, public interest in esports has increased following the Commonwealth Esports Games with multi-million dollar sponsorships by mainstream brands and investments from celebrity-status athletes coming into the esports industry.
ESI London provides the perfect place to discuss the growing market with brands, professionals, and organisations.
This year, ESI London will begin with the Hall of Fame awards on September 5th at gaming venue Platform in Shoreditch. On September 6-7th ESI will takeover BOXPARK Wembley, providing an expansive 20,000 square feet for esports professionals to connect, network and enjoy the main events.
In addition to the networking zones, conference area, and other lounges, ESI London will offer a quiet work zone and a Safe Space, supported by Women In Gaming International (WIGI) and Swipe Right PR.
