Gaming & Advertising
Online Conference
June 10th, 2021
A half day conference about advertising in gaming and esports
Brought to you by videoweek
Advertising in gaming and esports is one of the fastest-growing and most interesting spaces in media in 2021.
We launched our first ever gaming-specific event looking at the opportunities available to publishers, brands and advertisers.
The event was a virtual morning event featuring leading players from the buy and the sell-side with opportunities for online networking throughout.
