ISC Events and Media, together with the University of San
Agustin, Campus Esports Development Organization, RUMBLE ROYALE, and Secret 6
partnered up for the first Ilonggo leg of the Globe Telecom Esports AcadArena
School Tour on July 31 at the USA Auditorium.
Themed ‘Taking Your First Steps In The Gaming Industry’, the
one-day event featured keynote speeches and panel discussions from industry
leaders, professional players, and organizations all across the Philippines.
The free-to-all event drew students from different schools, esports
communities, and groups from across Iloilo who were interested in building
communities, learning about the gaming industry, and pursuing their careers in
the industry.
The talks ranged from a variety of topics relating to the
theme, ranging from content creation, the rise of the esports community, the
future of digital and new media, and game development.
The aim of the program is to elevate esports with schools
across the country, empower different students and enthusiasts, and to prepare
them for a career in the industry.
‘This marks our first school tour event here in Iloilo, and
our 5th nationally, we were amazed by the enthusiasm of the attendees who
really got to engage with the speakers” said A. Frederick Sansait, Director of
External Affairs of ISC Events. ‘The future of the esports industry is bright
in Iloilo, and I see the next generation of the youth rising up to the
challenge”.
