Join us on January 26 for a panel discussion on the The Future of esports.
According to the Entertainment Software Association, the U.S. gaming industry generated $90.3 billion in economic output in 2019, supporting nearly 429,000 jobs. In Pennsylvania, the economic impact is nearly $665M. The industry generates $12.6 billion in federal, state and local taxes annually.
Esports (short for electronic sports), is competitive video gaming, played in amateur and professional settings. Advances in livestreaming technology has precipitated the rise of its popularity and career opportunities, which parallel that of traditional sports. The industry?s rapid growth has attracted huge marketing investment and prompted workforce development initiatives for postsecondary scholars and youth.
We'll welcome three panelists who will discuss how their respective programming is preparing the future gaming industry workforce for the wide array of careers available in the sector.
Our panelists include:
The Economics Club Breakfast series offers an informative monthly breakfast and provides attendees the opportunity to network with key business and community leaders. A variety of speakers discuss economic and business updates important to York County.
