The virtual B2B conference will engage premiere esports industry
talent, experts, business executives, brands and more for a deep
dive into the multi-faceted, rapidly-growing global phenomenon of
esports
Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment (GSE) and The
Esports Trade Association (ESTA) announced today the launch of
their inaugural Esports Business Symposium. The virtual experience
will feature a series of programs and conversations spanning myriad
themes at the forefront of gaming and esports. It will begin on
Thursday, May 19, 2022, kicking off promptly at 11 a.m.
ET.
The event will explore the global phenomenon of esports and
provide attendees with firsthand insights into the
mainstream-“culturalization” of the gaming industry. The program
will also focus on the evolving role esports plays in the worlds of
business, art, and culture – along with the future of digital
experiences and forums, such as the Metaverse and Web3. Sessions
will include conversations with some of the industry’s most
renowned experts and thought leaders to dissect topics such as
Smart Contracts & Digital Assets, Branding, Diversity &
Inclusion, Intellectual Property in the Esports Landscape,
Monetization, Financial Literacy and more.
The upcoming Symposium comes on the heels of a unique
collaboration between Morgan Stanley GSE and the ESTA, whose
joint-mission is to provide access, opportunity, education and
other valuable assets to the esports/gaming community at-large,
while engaging and equipping them with the necessary tools,
knowledge and application to be successful along the way. The
community, and expected audience for the event, includes anyone
from business leaders, brands and current and aspiring esports
professionals within the ecosystem.
Morgan Stanley GSE, a division of Morgan Stanley Wealth
Management dedicated to serving the unique and sophisticated needs
of professional athletes, entertainers, executives, creators and
other top professionals in the business of sports and entertainment
– has placed a greater emphasis on esports, as the industry’s
enormous growth has yielded more business-building opportunities
for many involved.
“The future around the business of esports is vast, and all
things demonstrate that we’re just scratching the surface,” said
Sandra L. Richards, Head of Global Sports & Entertainment and
Segment Sales & Engagement at Morgan Stanley. “More important,
esports is a pathway for better personal opportunities and outcomes
– whether through earning college scholarships, winning significant
prize money, or broadening personal networks and exposure through
competition and engagement; it’s been great to see how the growth
has positively influenced those involved. Our place in all of this
is to ensure that our team of GSE Directors and Financial Advisors
are made available to steer gamers, their families, businesses and
other esports community stakeholders toward sound financial
decisions that will yield more sustained success throughout their
journeys. That includes anything from wealth-building, financial
planning and other key areas of importance that can lay a solid
financial foundation for them to embark on whatever endeavors they
choose. We’re thrilled to be working with the ESTA to carry-out
this mission.”
"We are excited for the Esports Business Symposium because it is
an opportunity to highlight our collaboration with Morgan Stanley
Global Sports and Entertainment and the work we are doing to
advance the interests of the esports community," said Megan Van
Petten, Founder and Managing Director of the Esports Trade
Association. "Meaningful relationships with top minds in the
industry working towards a common goal is what we do best, and we
are incredibly grateful for this collaboration."
"Our mission has always been to bring two groups of people
together," added John Davidson, Board Chair of the Esports Trade
Association, "Those within the esports industry and those from the
outside who can help advance the interests of gamers and everyone
involved in esports as the trade continues to grow exponentially.
Our work with Morgan Stanley Global Sports and Entertainment speaks
to the success of unique collaborations. The future of esports is
incredibly bright especially with experts coming together at events
like the Esports Business Symposium to discuss how we advance the
sport to the next level."
Morgan Stanley GSE is also the presenting sponsor of ESTA’s
annual conference for the second consecutive year.
