What is the eSports Business EXPO? What kind of event is it?

It's already been several years since the year was declared the first year of e-sports.
Many different "e" teams and services are being born.
What kind of event was the "2nd eSports EXPO" that was held under such circumstances?
I couldn't find any information about it so I decided to just go and participate.

↓I would like to go a little further into the business aspects of the article below.

Scenes from the 2nd eSports Business EXPO, Live EXPO and Content Tokyo

What is the 2nd eSports Business EXPO?

This is one of the business events held in conjunction with amusement, sports, and local government events.
LIVeBT is an online/live event where companies dealing with "e" participate and exhibit.
As the name "Business" suggests, the main focus of this event is conferences and business negotiations at each booth.
As this is a business exhibition, the target audience is companies and people involved in the e-commerce industry, and it is not an event where the general public can go and have a blast.

The attendees were all generally dressed sharply in suits and exuding enthusiasm, as if to say, "I'm going to use this as a stepping stone to a new business."

Introducing the exhibitors at the 2nd eSports Business EXPO

From here, I would like to introduce the companies that had booths in the “e” exhibition area.
I hate to say it, but I heard a lot of stories that were more profitable than I expected.

Marusho Limited Company

This is a company that prints T-shirts.
When it comes to e-sports teams, many of them use T-shirts as their uniforms.
It seems possible to add team or company logos, or to mass-produce them as fan goods.
Prices vary depending on the material and printing technique, but they are inseparable when it comes to merchandise and team items.
We can also look forward to the production of goods other than e.

MSY

We are involved in various projects and merchandise production through e.
One of the most famous brands in MSY is GRAPHT.
They also support professional gaming teams and develop merchandise, and are a well-known brand in the e-industry.
They are also the Japanese distributor for my beloved Razer, and they were the ones who planned the Razer store in Akihabara (TSUKUMO.ex).
Although there may be some trade secrets, we have a lot of know-how regarding team management.

PCCS

A company that operates a large number of gaming facilities.
In addition to establishing gaming facilities in vacant properties, including building tenants, we also specialize in developing e-sports-related schools and introducing gaming spaces into accommodation facilities.
If things move forward as quickly as possible, it appears that the gaming facility will be completed in just one to two months from the vacant property.
ABC is also developing various facilities in Akihabara, where it has deep roots.

In addition, the company has a long history of implementation not only in Akihabara but also throughout the country, and is likely to be in great demand in the future.

DXRACER

When it comes to gaming chairs, this is the manufacturer!
It is such a famous manufacturer.
If you feel like your back or shoulders are hurting from gaming or desk work, why not try changing your chair?
Just by trying it out, you'll feel the quality and think, "Ah, this is different."
I'm not a shill for any manufacturer, but using good chairs and beds will help you get a lot done.

Lumica Co., Ltd.

What is the connection between penlights and e-sports?
If you're thinking that, you're right, I was really curious so I went to find out more.
Apparently, this penlight can change color using sound waves.
By mixing the sound waves from the penlight with the game's sound, the color will automatically change to suit the situation.
What's more, sound waves can be transmitted from home speakers, so even if you're not at the venue, you can synchronize the light of your penlight through the live stream.

It's truly a new item that allows you to experience being one with the venue.

Although there were only a few exhibition booths, there were many ambitious companies

What kind of exhibits will be available in the business section of the eSports "Business" EXPO?
I was curious about this, so I decided to attend this event, and I learned and gained a lot more information than I expected.
It seems like there was a time when the e-industry was wandering aimlessly, but gradually companies are solidifying their direction and coming up with various initiatives.
Aim to become Akihabara's gaming team!!
