KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 15 -- Cyberport’s annual Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum (DELF) concluded successfully, generating over 100 hours of content on its virtual platform, and drawing 500,000 views from almost 30 countries or regions.
The two-day forum was held in a virtual and interactive format for the first time and brought together more than 60 speakers to share on the topic, ‘New Normal of Digital Entertainment: From Gamification to Esportification’, as well as staging tournaments, start-up showcases and pitching contests to tap into the esports and digital entertainment craze.
On the second day, the forum saw Cyberport and the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) holding the first Esports MetaGame Conference and announcing collaboration initiatives, including the APRU Esports Fellowship Program.
The conference gathered leading scholars and professionals from North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to discuss the development of Hong Kong as an emerging digital entertainment and esports hub.
The conference focused on gaming, policy discussions and next generation learning, according to a statement.
Cyberport Chief Executive Officer, Peter Yan said: “Cyberport is committed to cultivating local young talent and promoting I&T industry development.
