Atlanta’s Plaza Theater plans to commence the exciting gaming and esports industry celebration “Games Week Georgia” at the end of the year, according to a press release from Tadpole Communications. The week (December 11th-17th, 2023) will feature a special film screening and activities with DreamHack Atlanta, Esports Summit, GirlGamer Atlanta, SIEGE and even a VIP Creative Industry Mixer. It will all happen in the city, which is  affectionately known as the nation’s esports capital.

A movie featuring film, music and gaming leaders, a pro teams competition in Rocket League, Esports Summit, annual SIEGE conference and more await attendees of “Games Week Georgia.”

Senior Industry Engagement Manager of GDEcD Asante Bradford: “A lot of people don’t realize that digital entertainment — video gaming more specifically — makes more money than the film industry globally. Here in Georgia we have worked hard to cultivate the gaming industry, and I am confident saying that it will grow and thrive exponentially as this industry continues to flourish in our state.”

Vice Chair of the Atlanta Esports Alliance Grant Wainscott: “Georgia, and specifically metro Atlanta, has become a thriving hub for gaming and esports. This jam-packed week invites gamers from around the world to celebrate the breadth and depth of the incredible ecosystem we have quietly built here in recent years.”

SIEGE Director Andrew Greenberg: “Georgia’s game industry is booming. Thanks to the Entertainment Investment Act, we have gone from five game studios to more than 160, with over 20 colleges in the state offering game development programs. This has become a major Georgia industry, as well as one of our most popular social pastimes. Bringing all these forces together creates a week of great events not to be missed.”
