Capped at 100 senior stakeholders, Esports Leaders was built to be a place where global decision-makers from esports teams, game publishers / developers, brands, tournament and event operators, agencies and others gather to forge partnerships, share insights, debate challenges, and shape what’s next for the sector.

The Esports Leaders agenda is built around two types of session; Main Stage Talks (very limited in number), and Roundtables. The focus is centred around networking and in turn the roundtables are key; these are led by one to two subject matter experts but will be group talks about said topic, with the groups changing from roundtable to roundtable every ~25 mins.
