    Gaming and Esports, as of today, is more than just people playing games with friends and family. It is a billion-dollar business where opportunities are still up for grabs! Esports, the competitive edge of gaming, is way more clearly and all the more present.

    Therefore, it is long overdue that an academic network was set up. Hereby, knowledge, know-how can be provided, and firsthand professional insight can get shared by those who are passionate about Esports.

    Practitioners and guest speakers

    To become or remain an expert in your profession, you obviously need to learn from and share experience with experts. The programme invites national and international guest speakers who are involved in Esports on a daily basis and/or who have developed and are still expanding their professional career in this sector. In short, they eat, drink and breath Esports and they teach the participants through examples and cases what the world of Esports is all about today and in the future.
