fragster.de signed up as media partner.
Berlin, March 19, 2009. This year’s ESCONF (International eSports Conference) will again be supported by www.fragster.de as a media partner for B-to-C communication. Last year, fragster.de had already been the official media partner for the ESCONF, as a newly founded eSport portal back then. One year later fragster.de – by now one of Germany’s leading eSports newsportal – will contribute to the conference delivering a lecture. Moreover, fragster.de is going to report on the event, before, during and after it takes place.
„The eSports Conference has been developing tremendously fast for the last years and continuously marks a yearly highlight for us, both in editorial terms and businesswise. This time we are particularly looking forward to actively supporting the event by contributing a lecture on eSports“, says Simon Wondracek, Project Director fragster.de, on the media partnership between the ESCONF and fragster.de
„We are very glad to have acquired fragster.de as a media partner for this year. In addition to their coverage on the ESCONF, the writers of the EGM eSport & Gaming Media GmbH are going to contribute to the event with a lecture. We are particularly glad that Simon Wondracek, Project Director of fragster, will give visitors an overview of eSports with his lecture. Given his longtime experience in eSports he is the very best choice for tackling this topic”, explains Carsten Kohlenbeck, responsible for the ESCONF at Think Services.
