Book now for Esports Venue Summit virtual event

Registration is now open for the Esports Venue Summit virtual event, which will follow after the main event being held at the iconic Twickenham Stadium

The popularity of esports is growing exponentially with the total esports audience set to grow to 495 million people in 2020, up 11.7% year-on-year.

Global esports revenues will grow to $1.1 billion in 2020, a year-on-year growth of 15.7%, up from $950.6 million in 2019, according to figures from Newzoo.

With this well-earned and well-publicised growth in esports, there is an emerging demand for more physical esports locations to complement the online community - from local esports cafes and regional esports hubs, to dedicated stadiums and spaces built into multi-purpose venues and existing stadia and arena.

To help meet this need, we are launching the perfect platform dedicated to sharing global best practices for esports hosting, venue design, operations & technology, and connecting virtual esports communities with those responsible for physical spaces - whether in sport, entertainment, leisure, hospitality, planning, development, etc.

Esports Venue Summit will take place from 21-22 October 2020 at Twickenham Stadium - the home of England Rugby AND leading British esports team, Excel.
