The Casino Esport Conference, the Esport Innovation Center and Stockton University announce two-day summit

June 24, 2022
By

The CEC/EIC October 18-19 will be held at the New Jersey State-funded Esports Innovation Center that is part of the Stockton University Programming.

The CEC, which has been held for the past 7 years in Las Vegas, is now cooperating with the EIC to bring a two-day summit packed with speakers and panels that will intensely cover the Esports industry and its benefits with integration into different verticals.
These verticals are as follows:

Gambling and Wagering

Collegiate Esports

Professional Esports

Esports and video gaming eco-systems and cultural aspects

Esports Marketing.

Tourism Impact

History of the CEC
The CEC was started 7 years ago by the Fox brothers Ari and Ben Fox to teach and integrate the gambling and esports industries to pave the future for the brick-and-mortar and online casino market. Today the CEC has expanded its education conferences to include Cryptocurrency, Web 3, NFTs, the Metaverse, Immersive experiences, and VR.AR and MR among other topics. These subjects are presented by people within these fields to the casino industry to educate and share ideas with those outside the casino industry. This helps enlighten the gambling industry about the possibilities of what Ari Fox calls “Techtainment”. These expansive discussions are taught at the annual Las Vegas CEC which will be held from February 27 to March 1, 2023, at Alexis Park in Las Vegas. The CEC/EIC is a newer summit that will mainly focus on esports.
