The Auditorio de Tenerife has been the setting chosen for this presentation in which, for just over half an hour, all the details of this edition were exposed and which aims to far exceed the success of the first, after registering more than 15,500 visits between participants and visitors last year.
Peter Martin He highlighted that “Tenerife once again has a very powerful proposal for foreign promotion through this event that transcends borders and that moves an important fan base worldwide.” “An opportunity to enjoy a space for leisure and culture on the island, and to forge projects, initiatives and proposals that help position Tenerife as a point of reference in the video game industry.”
For his part, Enrique Arriaga pointed out that “talking about the Tenerife G.G. it is more than just talking about a meeting of the technology sector, since it is one of the most important events for thousands of fans both inside and outside the island, but also for professionals”. In addition, Arriaga highlighted that “it will have activities, shows, prizes and presentations that will bring together young people and adults with the same guiding element: the gaming”.
According to Antonio Cabrera “from HDG and the Canarian Esports League HiperDino we are tremendously satisfied. We have a lot of experience, since 2006 our team has been responsible for 12 editions of the largest technology festival in the Canary Islands, before under other names, now Tenerife G.G.”.
He added that “organizing and executing a project like this involves enormous work for the organization and many collaborating entities. But the reality that is presented to us is very gratifying; it is no longer specifically a festival for fans of technology or video games. He gaming it is much more, it is in the culture of our society at all levels, leisure, education, industry, art, professional development,…Tenerife G.G. It is a festival that brings together the entire Canarian society, national and international, in a celebration of the culture in which we live. It has an extremely positive social acceptance and it is something that is reflected both in the attendees and in the fact that the Cabildo de Tenerife and HiperDino join forces to make it a reality, as well as an endless number of entities, professionals, volunteers and sponsors to whom we are very thankful.”
During the six days of the event, Tenerife will once again position itself as one of the most important enclaves in the world gaming and technology, not only nationally, but also internationally.
