Notice:
With an abundance of caution and in the interest of everyone’s safety, Sunshine State Esports and Full Sail have decided to postpone the Florida Esports Summit scheduled for Friday, September 27th 2024 and Saturday, September 28th, 2024. We are unable to ensure safe travel and conditions for the event, and do not want to cause conflicts for our attendees.
This is a postponement, not a cancellation. We are working on a new date, and will make announcements as soon as possible. All tickets for this event will be honored for the rescheduled date. We hope to be able to announce the new date shortly.
We will post this announcement on social media and the summit website for wide distribution. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact us through those channels.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to gathering soon.
