Quotes from Summit organisers and charity partner:
Hans Westerbeek, Summit Chair and Professor of International Sport Business, Victoria University
“There have been plenty of conferences and events that focus on the (esports) gamers and game developers, but few have focused on the business side of the equation. At this conference, we will answer the money and impact questions - when, how and where money can be made in esports and gaming, and how it can be done better.”
Chris Smith, Member of the organising committee, Former Semi-Pro Gamer and AI Entrepreneur
“The gaming industry is going through a reset and esports’ commercial success hasn’t worked as predicted by investors. So, I wanted to run a conference where people who have successfully executed can come together and share actionable insights and ideas. My aim is zero fluff, things you can take away and to collaborate and discuss. Let’s all win, together.”
Dan Ludlow, Head of Innovation, Barnardos Australia
“Our mission is to challenge and reward the eSports and gaming community to champion the most crucial cause there is, which is to empower every child in Australia to reach their full potential. We’re so excited about the possibilities because we know that with the support of this community, we can literally change the game for children.”
