Cyberport’s Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum to be staged from December 11 to 12 in hybrid format

Cyberport will organize the Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum from December 11 to 12, inviting global esports icons and influencers, industry elites and top-tier gamers to share industry development outlook, business opportunities, insights and market trends in the region.

The Forum will facilitate participants to have a holistic view of the gaming and esports industry development under the new normal, also marking the kick-off of the month-long extravaganza Digital Entertainment Spark.

The forum will bring a hybrid experience to participants by combining physical events at Cyberport’s esports arena and the Arcade, and online platform, with industry forums, live tournaments and show matches, start-up showcases and pitching contests.

Eric Chan, Cyberport’s Chief Public Mission Officer, said, “While the epidemic has brought many challenges to the gaming and esports industry, it has also presented a key opportunity for the industry to explore various paths for development.”

“The forum provides an ideal exchange platform to enrich the public’s understanding of the esports ecosystem and demonstrate that gaming and esports are not only about trendy pastimes for the younger generation but also an important driver in the integration of the new and traditional economies, all whilst providing talent cultivation and employment opportunities.”
