AN OVERVIEW

Esports has boomed in recent years and this industry will continue to grow up. While its audience is typically male, Esports is now catering to female athletes as well. To promote Esports competition among female gamers, GIRLGAMER Esports Festival has been around since 2017.

Girl Gamer Dubai Festival

GIRLGAMER Esports Festival is the most popular event that encourages women in Esports. The event provides a great opportunity for “young girls and women across Oceania.” Therefore, this comes at a great time when more women are getting into competitive gaming. You can find a great number of interesting activities at this event. The festival will also feature keynote speakers, panels, cosplay comps, dance performances, career activations, and more.

Originating in 2017, the GIRLGAMER Esports Festival has strongly grown up with several tournaments all around the world.  Specifically, after the success of the festival in Macau (2017) and Portugal (2018), GIRLGAMER Finals will take place in Dubai this December. This very event will feature two of the most popular Esports: CS:GO and LoL.
