The landscape for video games is rapidly changing with the rise of esports and the media attention they now command. There are big opportunities in the field, and the Next World Forum presents an opportunity to understand the current state of esports and see ways to get involved at every level of the industry. Hosted by the Saudi Esports Federation, the Next World Forum kicks off on September 7 and runs for two days with a host of events you won’t want to miss. 

The Next World Forum will provide deep dives through keynote presentations, industry expert panels, and live interviews through the two-day event.

 You can get caught up on the latest development in alternative realities through the “VR/AR and the Metaverse in the Spotlight” program on Day 1, take a look at the physical aspects of esports in the “Leveling Up eSports and Gamer Health” program the morning of Day 2,  or get a broad look at gaming around the world in the “Geographic Deep Dive: Flash review of Global Gaming Activity” near the end of Day 2.

The Next World Forum will offer programs that focus on playing games, design games, tackling the infrastructure behind games, the economics of esports, and much more. 

While the Next World Forum will clearly be a place to learn, it’s also an opportunity to go hands-on and make connections. The event will include workshops and networking lunches on both days.
