WHAT’S NEW &
RETURNING?

For 2023 we have three pretty special elements for this year’s edition.

First we’re delving into a key aligned sector, the creator economy, and more specifically the video games creator economy. Enter checkpoint, what we are building out as the B2B event for this rapidly emerging industry.

It’ll be a chance for creators to meet peers and potential partners, and brands, agencies, and anyone else active or interested in exploring the gaming creator economy to do just that.

Next we’ve the first ESI Film Festival, a short film festival focused on video games and esports.We’ve a £10,000 prize pool and this will be hosted on the evening of 20th October at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly in partnership with ESG Gaming. Due to capacity it’s by invitation only.

It wouldn’t be ESI London without The Clutch, but one key change is that we’ve expanded the start ups competition to be open to those from video games and the creator economy, as well as esports. We’ve HSBC UK and Excel Esports along for the ride as our headline partners this year.
