Six days with their corresponding 24 hours each, without stopping for a single minute, in a space of 50,000 square meters to enjoy an extensive program of activities, based on video games and technology, but aimed at all audiences. It is the great offer -here everything is big- of the second edition of Tenerife GG, the appointment for lovers of this world that is no longer reserved for geeks, and returns to the Santa Cruz Fairgrounds from July 11 to 16. An event that consolidates and seals the alliance between the private initiative, in this case the company dinosoland the public administration, the Cabildo de la Isla. The forecasts are to receive between 20,000 and 35,0000 visitors compared to 15,500 in 2022.
The acting president of the Island Corporation, Peter Martin; the acting Minister of Innovation, Enrique Arriaga, and the director of the HiperDino Canary Islands Esports League, Antonio Cabrera, presented the second edition at the Tenerife Auditorium. For just over half an hour, with the support of “sensational” videos corresponding to the participants in the first and successful edition, they exposed all the details of a technology forum that intends to far exceed the success obtained last year.
foreign promotion
Pedro Martín highlighted that “Tenerife once again has a very powerful proposal for foreign promotion through this event, which transcends borders and moves an important fan base worldwide.” Martín added that “it is an opportunity to enjoy a space for leisure and culture, in addition to forging projects, initiatives and proposals that contribute to positioning the Island as a point of reference in the video game industry”.
For his part, Enrique Arriaga pointed out that “talking about Tenerife GG is more than 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, a sector to take into account”. In addition, Arriaga stressed that “it will have activities, shows, prizes and presentations that will bring together young people and adults with the same guiding element: gaming (game)”.
“We do not believe that this is a merely recreational sector,” said the vice president. Arriaga added that “this event will serve as a showcase so that our young people can demonstrate their talent before recognized experts and important technology companies in order to turn their hobbies into a professional outlet”.
Both Martín and Arriaga criticized “the doomsayers who said, especially at election time, that this event was not going to be held.” They also appreciated the effort of the officials in the hard administrative work “to get to this moment before the change of government takes place.”
“Satisfied”
Antonio Cabrera assessed: “From Hiperdino Gaming -HDG, a brand that is part of the leading food chain in Canary Islands– and the HiperDino Canarian Esports League are tremendously satisfied”. He added that “we have a lot of experience, since since 2006 our team has been responsible for twelve editions of the largest technology festival in the Canary Islands, formerly known by other names, now Tenerife GG -Good game, password between players and fans.” Cabrera 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; since it is not specifically a festival for fans of technology or video games ». He explained that gaming is much more, “it is in the culture of society at all levels.”
Unit
Antonio Cabrera highlighted the union of the Cabildo de Tenerife and HiperDino, “in addition to a host of entities, professionals, volunteers and sponsors to whom we are very grateful for their efforts.” He did not want to reveal many surprises, but he brought forward the song of the event, starring the group Tenerife GG, with Celtic and rock roots, in addition to the intervention on the subject of artificial intelligence.
four zones
Tenerife GG will take place in four well-differentiated areas. The one dedicated to the LAN Party will be the perfect place for lovers of technology and video games, as they will have unlimited access to an ultra-fast and stable network connection 24 hours a day. In addition, a HiperDino store will be set up in the same venue. Gaming is a space dedicated to video games and gamer culture, where you can enjoy activities, competitions, experiences, with a wide catalog of games.
The visitor area aims to bring together thousands of gamers and the general public to enjoy exhibitions, workshops, a shopping area, activities and cosplay, as well as K-pop, shows and a space for content creators and independent artists. Hobby GG will be the best meeting point for families with boys and girls of all ages, bringing together activities, games, creative workshops and technology crafts.
Already in the professional area, different spaces will host training talks, game presentations and presentations from the technology and gaming industry.
