In September the DreamHack Festival is making its way to Australia for the first time, giving Australian gamers and content creators a chance to experience the world-renowned event in Melbourne.
The festival has today announced that DreamHack Students Day will be taking place on September 2, and will feature a number of resources that students can utilise to see what a career in gaming may look like.
Resources will include several panels from industry professionals that will cover topics such as, working in esports/getting a job in esports, online safety and social media, university pathways to the esports industry, life As a content creator, and community esports showcase (including students playing on stage & student commentators).
“Gaming and esports is the fastest growing industry in the world, and we want to make sure the next generation of students interested in pursuing a career here are well prepared for the industry, and a life after competitive play,” said Ben Green, Senior Product Manager at ESL Australia.
DreamHack Festival is taking place from September 2-4 at Melbourne’s Olympic Park venues, with Students Day happening on September 2 (Friday). Students who wish to attend can grab tickets with prices from $30 for children or $50 for adults. Schools and education institutions who wish to bulk purchase tickets can get in contact with the team to discuss discounts. For more information click here.
