KC Design Week | Level Up: Esports Arena Design

Esports is more than your average video game - it’s a full-fledged spectator sport for multiplayer gaming competitions. From home gamers to college students to professional players earning six-figure prizes, esports is drawing the attention of millions of people across the world every year. It is pushing the boundaries of design to create new, dynamic space typologies and multipurpose facilities that serve entire communities. 

Join Populous designers and other local esports leaders as they discuss how esports brings together design, community and entertainment. A brief presentation and Q&A with these industry experts will be followed by hands-on demos of the top games & technologies used to bring esport designs to life.

Vaccination & Mask Requirement

This is an in-person event. Attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination, along with proof of identification. 

We will limit access to those who have either had a full primary dose of the vaccine in addition to the most recent booster shot OR have received their full primary vaccination within the past 6 months (thus rendering them ineligible for the booster until more time has passed).

KC Design Week also requires masks be worn for all indoor events and for outdoor events where adequate social distancing is not possible.

We will monitor local mandates and recommendations and apply them where required at our various events. Updates to these attendance requirements could be made up to 24 hours in advance of the event starting time.
