This week on GBFM Tech, Louis is joined by Stuart Dempsey, Founder and CEO of GamerFest and Nexus, the Dublin Games Conference.
Recorded ahead of this year's GamerFest, which took place at The RDS, Dublin on 23–24 May, this conversation looks at how gaming has grown from something people did at home into a major live entertainment experience, community event and serious industry.
Stuart chats about what goes into creating a festival for gamers, families, esports fans, creators and tech enthusiasts, and explains the amount of planning and technology needed behind the scenes to make a large-scale gaming event work.
The conversation also explores Nexus, the Dublin Games Conference, and the wider games industry in Ireland — from development and design to content creation, events, marketing and career opportunities.
For parents, players, casual gamers or anyone curious about where gaming is heading, this episode gives a great insight into how gaming has become much more than a hobby.
