Ireland’s biggest gaming and esports festival, GamerFest, has announced its return this autumn, with 5,000 visitors expected at the RDS in Dublin on October 22nd and 23rd.
Originally established in 2017, GamerFest is a diverse and inclusive celebration of all things gaming and esports that has been developed with a community-first approach, welcoming visitors from across Ireland, the UK and Europe.
The landscape for gaming changed very much for the positive during the Covid period and the growth already seen around the world is starting to take shape here in Ireland.
Central to the Festival is the GamerFest Live Stage which will see a huge variety of gaming content across the weekend including esports tournaments, special guest appearances and gaming challenges.
Visitors to the event can also expect a wide array of gaming entertainment including the latest titles, VR gaming and technology, an expo hall and market place to grab the latest gaming equipment and gear.
Sport for Business will also be hosting some partnership related content around the time of GamerFest to explore ways in which the gaming community and commercial partners can be brought together for mutual benefit.
The festival will also showcase the best in Irish gaming content creator talent with the launch of a new Creator Zone where visitors will get the chance to meet their favourite Twitch and YouTube creators at the event.
Further announcements regarding special guests will be announced by the organisers over the coming weeks.
“It has obviously been a really tough couple of years for everyone involved with live events and we certainly haven’t been immune,” said GamerFest CEO and Founder of Legion eSports, Stuart Dempsey.
“But to see the excitement and anticipation amongst our community for the return of GamerFest is just incredible. We can’t wait to see everyone again at the RDS this October.”
Tickets to be part of the Festival are on sale now at GamerFest.ie.
