As Featured In:

The world of esports is still young: the community is expanding, business models are fluid, and innovation never stops, as the industry looks to stay fresh and exciting.

 

Esports BAR is the world’s esports business arena, and our mission is to transform the sport of the digital generation into the future of entertainment.

We do this by gathering together industry leaders globally to shape the future of esports – a future that is bright.

Esports BAR is part of Reed MIDEM, the world-leading organiser of entertainment content events. Our roots stretch deep into the world of entertainment.

 

In 2017, Esports BAR Cannes launched onto the scene as a three-day event in February, in the same venue as the iconic Cannes Film Festival. Then followed Esports BAR Miami, held each September as a four-day event.
We like to follow the sun!

The global health crisis threw a curveball. We responded swiftly, taking Esports BAR Miami online in September 2020 to hold our first fully digital, four-day edition: Esports BAR+ Americas. That is, until we can meet again in person.
