TK: Responsible Esports – How Digital Competition Can Be Healthy, Fair, and Future-Ready
Esports captivates millions, shapes youth culture, and is growing at breakneck speed – yet many of its structures still lag behind. Questions around health, equality of opportunity, and recognition as an official sport remain open.
We’ll explore the challenges and opportunities of professional gaming, highlight best practices, and discuss what it takes for esports to be taken seriously in society, sport, and health contexts.
Speakers J. Althoff (esports player foundation), M. Balgün, B. Kollhorst (Techniker Krankenkasse), V. Mallant (Unicorns of Love), M. Remmert (Freak 4u Gaming), M. Müller (ESBD)
