Uniquely for an AV trade show, the Esports Arena at ISE 2025 will present tournaments with professional players, showcase the AV and broadcast technology in esports, and host a series of talks and presentations about this exciting and rapidly growing area of live entertainment.
Produced in collaboration with LVP, one of the world’s leading operators of global esports competitions, and covering 1000sqm of show floor, the Esports Arena is one of the premier showcase attractions for the newly opened Hall 8.1.
Esports professionals will compete against each other every day, with the action and live commentary streamed on Twitch. From the arena’s raked seating areas, ISE attendees can follow the action on giant LED screens. During the week they will also have the opportunity to compete among one another and with the pros.
Four well-known games will be played over the course of the week, with a different game featured each day.
Esports events are a benchmark for the application of cutting-edge AV and broadcast solutions – pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in live event production. The Esports Arena will showcase the latest technology in a fully operational facility broadcasting live each day.
ISE visitors can watch the production crew in action as they operate the different elements of the broadcast. It’s a unique opportunity for ISE attendees to get a technical insight into the production and broadcast of an esports event.
Interspersed with the gaming, the Esports Arena will feature a daily schedule of technology showcases and arena tours focusing on the key audio, broadcast and display components that comprise the arena.
Leading esports experts and the LVP team will also participate daily in talks and presentations. Topics will cover technology innovation and integration, esports trends, and the impact that esports are making on live production and on the coverage of conventional sports and entertainment events.
