Gaming Zone Sponsor
New to 2024, we are looking for the perfect partner(s) to create a ‘gaming zone’ at ESI Lisbon. This is a unique opportunity to provide physical touch-points and hands-on experiences for both b2b and b2c audiences all in the same day.
Our gaming zone partner (title can be adapted) would get full use of a 9x11m centrally located space, easily accessible and immediately visible to all event guests
ESI will also coordinate branding on two large feature walls within the space Delegates will have this area dedicated for socialising and networking through play, using your products, and you will be credited as the provider of this amazing experience on all coverage pre and post event as well as the event website
This activation includes, at minimum (starting at the price listed above) a full carpeted and power-provided space with access to the best internet available.
This can either be taken over by a partner who will supply all of the gaming kit at the minimum price, and ESI will support with your delivery and set-up but all kit and operational costs will be your own Alternatively, ESI can create the gaming zone for you and procure all the hardware, operational staff, and provide a full service space for a custom cost. Enquire to explore this option with us.
