The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) has announced the return of its ESIC Global Esports Summit (EGES) for 2023.
This industry conference will take place on February 9th and 10th 2023 at ExCeL London once again, following the inaugural ESIC Global Esports Summit which was held in April 2022.
The EGES 2023 will again bring together various stakeholders within the esports industry including publishers, tournaments organiser, teams, non-endemics, media and others, to discuss and debate issues facing the industry while also sharing expertise.
The Summit will feature a main stage, with “strictly no esports 101” content, and a think tank area, which will be a collaborative workshop session with industry experts deep diving issues facing the esports industry.
ESIC has partnered with Clarion Events to produce the event ‘at no cost to ESIC’s operational budget’.

Stephen Hanna, director of global strategy and partnerships at ESIC, said:
“The ESIC Global Esports Summit represents a great opportunity for the industry to come together on a regular basis in a neutral environment to discuss topical issues in a meaningful way.”

“By involving a wide cross-section of the industry including key publishers, tournament organisers, teams, agents and others, the EGES is poised to facilitate progress for the industry.
“We are appreciative of all the speakers that have committed to our inaugural event and commend the receptiveness of the organisations which they represent in engaging with this forum for discussion and collaboration.”
Prominent esports journalist and personality, Richard Lewis, will be speaking at this year’s event, after illness saw him miss the 2022 summit.
