TAMPA (September 16, 2020) -- Rivaling professional sports on the field and in arenas, esports is catching on across the nation and the world. Now a global, multi-billion-dollar business, esports reached an audience of 380 million people in 2019. Industry observers expect that number to increase to 557 million by 2021.

To keep pace, the 鲍鱼tv Vinik Sport & Entertainment Management Program is staging its second 鲍鱼tv Esports Summit in October. The event last year filled the Muma College of Business atrium and included prominent industry guest speakers and panel discussions about the state of the industry and trends. This year, the summit, cosponsored by Tampa Bay Sports &Entertainment, takes place in a virtual format and that could draw even more attendees.
