One Galaxy at a time: navigating the esports universe
With so many players now involved in esports: teams, sponsors, regulations, media, brands, players, tournaments, endemics and non-endemics…, Esports BAR has the ambition to address all segments, provide you with the best insights with esports conferences and to be the most productive esports business event.
Next February, Esports BAR will host the first esports conference organised by genre and title: approaching esports from the outside and growing it from the inside, by seeing esports as a universe, with specific galaxies to tackle one at a time for more in-depth content on esports trends.
This year’s esports conference is the opportunity for all, esports companies and non-endemic ones to find their way through the esports industry namely its galaxies: from games with a title-by-title approach to a more practical one embracing all possible links to the esports business; and in the end reaching the best point of impact.
For all attendees, VIP or Delegates, Exhibitors or Journalists, during 3 days, from 11-13 February 2020, at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, Esports BAR gives the opportunity to enter the esports ecosystem and develop one’s expertise through its esports conferences.
