About GGS
The 2023 Global Games Summit was a one-day conference by the leading academics which explored the legal issues currently affecting the games industry. Only those who have pre-registered will be admitted.
| The FormatThe format of this unique and fast-paced conference, will include ‘bite-sized’ infor-mation pieces and discussions led by leading academics, regulators and industry participants. Global Games Summit aims to build a community of business professionals and legal experts focused on the games industry where stakeholders can exchange, and discuss, leading edge insights, knowledge and market trends. You will, we’re sure, be pleased to hear we’ve done away with the traditional con-ference format of lengthy presentations and followed by the obligatory Q&A session. Instead, the sessions will be interactive where active engagement is not just encouraged but applauded. The key objective of talking to, and learning from, your peers and sector experts, is to help you clarify the way forward for your business. |
The OrganizerThe GGS has been initiated by the World Esports Association (WESA), the University of Cologne and the George Washington University in order to establish a unique platform for the leading academics from various universities and to initiate an exchange between the academic world and the industry. In short, Global Games Summit is all about creating meaningful connections and accelerating your understanding of the industry. |
