When I take to the podium at the Next World Forum in Riyadh at the end of August, it will be to deliver a presentation which will help shape the future of gaming and esports in Saudi Arabia.
‘The Next Level: A New Chapter for the Saudi Esports Federation’, will take place at 1.15pm on Thursday August 31, the second and final day of this year’s Next World Forum. For the following 45 minutes, delegates attending the Next World Forum will hear the next steps for our organization, the regulating body in charge of nurturing elite gaming athletes and developing the gaming community and industry in Saudi Arabia. They will hear how, in this new chapter, our organization truly flourishes.
But overcoming the challenges along the way has enabled us to grow strong enough to now progress to the next level. I smile when I think of the team we had for our first event – a FIFA community competition called the GSA Esports Cup in March 2018. The team was so small compared to the size of the Saudi Esports Federation one that now puts together Gamers8, the biggest gaming and esports festival worldwide.
That year was also an important strategic change of direction – we realized that one-time large events didn’t have the impact wanted, and so shifted to a model of sustainable, recurring leagues. This model has become one of our pillars. It stands as a promise to our communities that we will invest in them so that they can invest in themselves – and not just for one, glitzy, glamorous week but for years and years down the line.
