ABOUT ESI LONDON

Our flagship ESI London show made a triumphant return to the physical events space in 2021, and for 2022, we’re committed to making it even bigger and even better.

Our usual concoction of the very best networking, education, content and hospitality will return to the UK’s capital, with some more surprises in store at BOXPARK Wembley.

ESI London 2022 will be our largest and most ambitious event yet, as we continue to listen to feedback, push the boundaries, and ultimately deliver the most memorable and valuable industry events we can.

I have been to many events in my time, and [ESI London] stood out with its great atmosphere and super engaged audience. I really enjoyed it.

Neil Gaisford
CEO
Player1 Events

Esports Insiders has become the essential and leading media for esports business news. It was obvious that ESI events stand out as unmissable industry meetings, bringing together the entire ecosystem. ESI London 2022 was a tremendous success, both in terms of networking and business, as for the warm and caring atmosphere between all participants.

Matthieu Dallon
CEO
Trust Esport VC Fund

ESI events are always a great platform for incredibly talented, smart, and wholesome professionals to connect and team up to revolutionise further our industry, In my opinion ESI events are the greatest example of how the B2B events should be organised to leverage the potential brought to the room by the speakers, attendees, and partners. Definitely must-have in any esports company’s events calendar!

Dominika Szot
Head of Brand Strategy
GRID Esports

ESI always has been a special platform for our industry. A mix of a professional setup as well as a casual platform to hang out with partners. Sam and his team are doing an amazing job receiving feedback and improving event by event. We at Shikenso can’t wait for the next years to come together with ESI!

Arwin Fallah
CEO

ESI London was a fantastic event. Not only were the panels incredibly insightful and encouraging after a difficult period during the pandemic, but it was superb to connect with other members of the industry and form potential working relationships.

Alastair Pusinelli

SPORTFIVE

ESI London 2022 was a great event that gathered companies from all different industries wanting to connect with the esports industry. Seeing the huge interest from so many different companies attending ESI London is a great indication of esports being mainstream and thanks to ESI for connecting it all with this event. I enjoyed meeting new and old contacts and listen to the relevant panels. I look forward to the next ESI event!

Nasim Abu Qouta

A brilliant event as always from ESI, they continue to iterate and bring value to all attendees and stakeholders. ESI London has to be considered the de-facto “must attend” esports networking event in the UK.

Rob Black

Promod Esports

It’s a pleasure to return to ESI London as it was The Clutch that gave us a platform to present our business to the world last year, leading to us closing our pre-seed round this year. I’m looking forward to hearing how the other finalists have progressed and to see whole host of new businesses pitching on stage!

James Duffield
CEO and Co-Founder

We feel that it’s really important to keep educating people, brands and agencies on esports. ESI creates the right environment and brings the relevant person to the table to achieve exactly that; I’m looking forward to be part of their events for the years to come!
Nicolas Maurer

Quite simply, ESI, that is both the site and their events, is a great place to promote your brand while also connecting with leaders in the industry.
