The Value of Esports
voices. visions. value.

A free, one-day meeting with industry leaders, research experts, and 
esports players, getting to grips with how research can assist the 
esports industry and what the future of esports may look like. Produced 
in collaboration with The Landing

Limited places available.


Details: 23 July, 2019, The Landing, Media City, Salford, UK.

Esports have become a vast cultural force in recent years, transforming 
how people play games, creating new economies of participation, and 
re-framing the cultural conversation about gaming in society. But, what 
do we really know about what's happening in this world and what kind of 
evidence is there to support claims about its impact on individuals and 
society? Come along to this unique event bringing together industry and 
research professionals to go beyond the marketing data and dig deep into 
the value of esport.

At this event, we’re seeking to create conversations about esports and
