Based on the achievements of the last forum and the global network it has established, the association said it will preemptively discuss major agendas for enhancing accessibility and reliability of the operation of international e-sports competitions with domestic and foreign experts.
The forum will be attended by more than 50 invited domestic and foreign speakers, including Saudi Esports Federation President Turkial Fauzan, Jeff Lam, Asia Esports Federation's race management director, David Neitzel, ESL Faceit Group senior vice president, Mark Chey, secretary-general of the Singapore Olympic Committee, sports companies, professional e-sports clubs, academia, and officials from e-sports associations (Saudi, China Taipei, Britain, Vietnam, Namibia, Canada, Norway, and Poland). In particular, on the second day of the event, the association plans to announce the interim results of the e-sports international standardization research led by Korea.
The forum consists of thematic presentations and panel discussions. It will cover major agendas such as operation of e-sports competitions, broadcasting, player protection policies, social responsibility of e-sports, measures to improve economic fairness, and standards for selecting e-sports events, and will collect various opinions from experts in each field. Through this forum, the association emphasized that it plans to increase the credibility of e-sports competitions, establish e-sports standards, and actively seek practical measures for industry sustainability.
