Esports is a growing and exciting part of the interactive entertainment sector. It has captured the interest of both professional players and casual viewers across the country. It has generated excitement and imaginative activations from brands in the worlds of games, sport and beyond. It is also viewed with increasing credibility by the wider world, with interest in esports coming from leading press, influential policy makers and even teachers looking to engage children in the classroom.
However, it can be difficult to fully appreciate the opportunity esports presents to the UK at large.
This event supports the publication of a brand-new report, produced by Esports News UK and Ukie, in conjunction with The Story Mob and YouGov.
Both the report and this event will explore the current state of esports in the UK, assessing how the sector could be developed further, balancing the need to develop the next generation of esports talent with the ambition of unlocking the full growth potential of companies operating across the industry today.
