eir has signed on as the official broadband partner of GamerFest 2022, taking place in the RDS on October 22nd and 23rd.
Ahead of the festival which will bring thousands of gamers together across the two days, they have commissioned research with gamers in Ireland to look at how, when, where and with whom they are connecting with while gaming.
The top priority is a strong and reliable connection with 81 per cent of participants stating that having a high-speed broadband connection was the most important factor in their online gaming experience.
eir’s presence follows on from last week’s announcement of Virgin Broadband partnering with Irish eSports brand Wylde, part-owned by Usain Bolt.
Clearly the bigger the market becomes, the keener the battle to proviode that connectivity.
“We are committed to providing our customers with access to world-leading technologies and the highest-quality connectivity,” said Susan Brady, eir managing director of Consumer and Small Business.”
“We are delighted to partner with GamerFest 2022 and look forward to meeting all the attendees at the event later this month and showcasing the latest innovation and technology available to our customers to deliver the best gaming experience.”
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome visitors back to GamerFest 2022 to experience all the amazing gaming content and technology across the weekend through the support of our exclusive broadband partners, eir,” added GamerFest CEO Stuart Dempsey.
“Strong connections are at the heart of our community and we can’t wait for them all to meet again in person at GamerFest.”
GamerFest will see 5,000 gamers descend on the RDS venue for a packed weekend of gaming and entertainment featuring the latest games, esports, VR gaming, special guests, and live stage shows.
Visitors to the event can also expect a wide array of gaming entertainment including the latest blockbuster titles, VR gaming and technology, expo hall and marketplace to grab the latest gaming equipment and gear.
Lucozade is the main commercial partner of the event, covered here earlier this year.
