The Esports Business and Education Conference (EBEC) will be providing a premium experience by bringing different academic and industry leaders in esports together. There will be keynote speakers, panels, breakout sessions, and, notably, a separate graduate and undergraduate student pitch competition. The conference will deliver an itinerary to allow you to get the most out of your experience.
