We like to do networking a little differently. Here’s what’s planned for Paris:
Following our popular Austin and Riyadh padel tournaments and socials, the Paris edition will introduce Paris Padel Gaming Club, bringing a local twist to the experience.
There's value in doing things that scare you.
At Esports Leaders we believe the setting matters. Environment and atmosphere impact events enormously, from conversations to general enjoyment, and choosing the right setting for the right event, is vital.
We take our time accordingly, and we ensure we find a space that fits the vibe we’re after, which varies to some degree per edition, but always guarantees great hospitality, friendly staff, good food and drinks and something a little bit special.
The main venue for Esports Leaders Paris is Hôtel du Collectionneur, a truly 5* property in the heart of the city, a 5-minute walk from Oxford Street and Hyde Park, and with a world-class restaurant.
