If the Paris Games Week has become the unmissable meeting place for video games at the end of each year, a new Festival dreams of new ambitions, Franco-French but also international. This is at least the objective of the organizers of the future Cannes Gaming Festival which will come to walk on the flowerbeds of Paris Games Week, since it will also be held in October, in 2023. Behind this new show, we find Antoine de Tavernost, Managing Director of the AUDITOIRE agency (Omnicom Group) and Robin Leproux, a former member of M6, RTL and who even made a stint at PSG. He is also the founder of ESpot and has been passionate about video games for over 30 years. For the two men, Cannes and the Palais des Festivals in Cannes immediately became the best place to celebrate video games. A prize-giving ceremony in the spirit of the major events in Cannes (International Film Festival, Cannes Lions, etc.) with a jury of experts will be there to reward the best French and international games. They promise us that the whole city of Cannes will be immersed in the gaming universe, with highlights in the city and at the Palais des Festivals! It is also announced that the event will be rebroadcast in streaming with the presence of French streamers and influencers. An event ready to steal the show at Paris Games Week? We must be happy on the SELL side...
