How blockchain influences the esports and gaming entertainment industry in 2021 and beyond

NEW YORK - EntSun -- Entrepreneurs, startup ventures, investors, marketing managers, incubators, government officials, and thought leaders around the world will attend the upcoming virtual StartUp Summit organized by the International Trade Council from January 19 to 21, 2021.

David Drake, Chairman and Founder of LDJ Capital and The Soho Loft Media Group, will be in attendance and will be one of the keynote speakers in the virtual event. "The esports industry is, arguably, one of the most profitable markets during this pandemic, being valued for over $1 billion. I see that blockchain can bridge the gap between online and offline assets of players and game creators in this industry, and it can greatly improve content delivery networks and increase the demand on esports content across different platforms," Drake said.

Together with David Drake, here are some of the speakers in this online event:

Adam R. Bialek, Partner, Wilson Elser
