Beacon Events and the Esports Integrity Coalition (ESIC) have revealed that they've entered into a Knowledge Partner Agreement, with ESIC becoming Knowledge Partner for the Asia Esports Forum this year, following on from ESIC's recent Knowledge-Share Initiative targeting at misinformation in the industry.
The forum is taking place at the W Hotel in Taipei, Taiwan from November 6 to 7, and ESIC will provide speaker and content recommendations as part of the agreement.
Giulia Timarco, Senior Conference Producer at Beacon Events, said: "We are delighted to have ESIC as our official knowledge partner for the 2nd annual Asia Esports Forum taking place this coming 6-7 of November at the W Taipei. Our goal is to offer a platform where the industry can meet, learn from each other, grow and make significant deals."
"After attending last year's Asia Esports Forum, we are looking forward to contributing our knowledge and expertise to this iteration of the Asia Esports Forum in November. We commend Beacon Events on prioritizing the authenticity and accuracy of event content when constructing esports conferences," added Stephen Hanna, Director of ESIC and Chairman of ESIC's Asia Pacific Initiative.
"As part of the knowledge partnership, ESIC will be assisting in curating and vetting both speakers and content with the view of providing accurate information to industry stakeholders and attendees. We are confident that this partnership will serve to improve the accuracy of information being circulated about our industry in the Asia Pacific region which, in ESIC's view, is a fundamental building block for success."
Is this a good deal for both sides?
