The competitive gaming and wagering sectors are merging, with Las Vegas set to be the ultimate battleground!
Esports has skyrocketed in popularity, transforming from a specialized hobby to a worldwide sensation in a short period. We’re witnessing unprecedented viewership numbers for competitions, with enthusiasts filling arenas to witness top-tier players compete for colossal prize money. All indicators suggest this expansion will accelerate – esports is projected to potentially generate over 1.5 billion dollars in income by the close of 2019.
The betting sector has certainly recognized this potential gold mine. Businesses are rushing to determine how to integrate esports into their current operations. This is where the Casino Esports Conference (CEC) enters the picture. This gathering aims to unite the major stakeholders in both the wagering and competitive gaming realms to investigate how to best cater to both patrons and the gaming community at large.
Save the date – September 7th and 8th at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. This is where esports professionals, marketing experts, game creators, competition organizers, legal professionals, instructors, and naturally, gambling industry titans will assemble. Anticipate panel talks, in-depth marketing analyses, and live demonstrations, all intended to provide any wagering company seeking to enter the esports arena with the knowledge and practical direction they require to establish a strong foothold.
During the second week of September, Fox Marketing is bridging the gap between the wagering and competitive gaming realms with an event centered around profitable collaborations. This assembly will connect organizers and delegates from video game creation, technology providers, esports betting services, legal professionals, casino liaisons, and skill-based gaming firms to delve into the potential of relationship building.
Industry titans will grace the stage, including: Carl Benson, Chief of the Enforcement Division at the Nevada Gaming Control Board (GCB); Robert Rippee, Director of the Hospitality Innovation Lab and Esports Labs at UNLV; Melissa Blau, Founder and Director of iGaming Capital and a seasoned iGaming consultant and investor; Ian Smith, the Esports Integrity Commissioner; and Alex Ingleman, a gaming attorney and advisor with over two decades of experience in the gaming, technology, and entertainment industries.
The two-day gathering commences with an Esports 101 presentation, followed by a panel discussion with legal specialists. Post-lunch, participants will explore marketing tactics and examine methods for revenue generation through esports. Day two begins with a dialogue on promotion and then transitions to a showcase highlighting gamers. The culminating event? A Gameacon esports competition accessible to the public.
