– 2 min read
The A1 Austrian eSports Festival will take place on 5 and 6 July for the fourth time at the Austria Center Vienna, with over 25,000 gaming and esports enthusiasts expected to attend.
Over 200 exhibitors have announced that they will be participating in the event. The programme promises esports action on the main stage (A1 eSports League Austria finals: League of Legends, Valorant, and Teamfight Tactics), gaming stations, cosplay, a merchandise zone, and the analogue Spielefest Wien, which is happening simultaneously.
"The A1 Austrian eSports Festival has firmly established itself within the esports and gaming community. Top-class esports professionals will once again compete against each other live on stage in internationally renowned tournaments. Our festival is the fastest-growing esports event in Europe, and we are confident that our diverse programme will once again impress guests this year," says Manuel Haselberger, organiser of the A1 Austrian eSports Festival.
Beyond the tournament venues, the A1 Austrian eSports Festival is intended as a platform for local talent. The festival will feature numerous Austrian companies and educational institutions providing information about job opportunities and further education. At the 'Game Dev Campus', ten universities of applied sciences and universities have joined forces with local game developers to share insights into the gaming industry. Visitors can also speak to recruiters from companies such as ASFINAG, A1 and Austro Control about job vacancies and career opportunities in the Job Zone.
In addition to the digital esports action, all festival visitors will have the opportunity to experience Spielefest Wien, the analogue counterpart of the digital gaming event, which is taking place simultaneously. Visitors can enjoy Austria's largest tabletop game library, 1,000 supervised gaming tables and presentations of new games and well-known analogue classics. Fifteen food trucks in the event's food festival area will also be on hand to satisfy visitors' appetites. Visitors with a ticket can access all event areas free of charge.
