Skillshot Media Launches Event Venues Atlanta
Skillshot Media now represents and activates over 100,000 square feet of premium and accessible space in Atlanta for live events, studio production, and live-streamed productions.

Resurgens Gaming, North America’s leading gaming lifestyle and media company, today announced Event Venues Atlanta, over 100,000 square feet of experiential and production space across Metro Atlanta available for booking and event management services via its production division Skillshot Media.

The expanded event booking and management footprint includes:

  • multiple premium spaces at Uptown Atlanta, the Fulton County transit-oriented development straddling the intersection of Buckhead and Midtown, 
  • purpose designed production studio spaces in Doraville, and 
  • additional locations to be announced in 2025.

“Since the pandemic, we’ve noticed a significant increase in demand for live event spaces equipped with high-speed internet, superior audio/visual capabilities, and comprehensive event management services.”, said Resurgens Gaming CEO Todd Harris.  “People are eager to gather for live events, but there is also a growing remote audience that seeks an experience more engaging and compelling than a typical Zoom call. Additionally, our booking and activation requests in Atlanta are on the rise, especially with the city set to host eight World Cup games."

Resurgens Gaming and their venue partners have invested over $5M in production equipment and infrastructure to ensure the spaces represented by Skillshot Media deliver an exceptional high fidelity experience both on site and online.

Georgia Games Week and DreamHack Atlanta Return October 1-6, 2024
Week-Long Event To Celebrate Georgia’s Gaming and Esports Industry and Fan Culture

Games Week Georgia returns to Atlanta this year October 1-6, 2024, to celebrate all aspects of the global video game and esports industry.  

The annual week of events and activations, curated by Skillshot Media and Ghost Gaming, and delivered this year in partnership with the Metro Atlanta Chamber’s InnovATL2024 initiative, will conclude with the three day gaming lifestyle festival DreamHack Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress Center from October 4-6.

“Gaming is quietly the largest segment of the $2 trillion global entertainment industry,” said Todd Harris, CEO of Skillshot Media. “Games Week Georgia celebrates the gaming and esports industry, bringing together gaming leaders and experts from around the world, and culminating in one of North America's largest gaming festivals — DreamHack Atlanta.”

The current set of announced Games Week Georgia events include:

“DreamHack's exponential growth in North America is a testament to not only the growth of the gaming industry, but the appetite of fans for in-person, community-driven experiences,” said Guy Bloomberg, Event Director, DreamHack Festivals - Americas, ESL FACEIT Group. “Following a record-setting DreamHack Dallas this year, our return to Atlanta alongside Games Week Georgia doubles down on making this moment a celebration of the state's vibrant gaming landscape.”

According to the Georgia Department of Economic Development, digital entertainment is a $550 million industry in the state, responsible for more than 12,000 direct and indirect jobs. Events like DreamHack Atlanta not only fuel that industry, but draw over 40,000 guests, vendors, developers, celebrities, and more to the city across the weekend.

“Georgia is on the frontlines of innovation and growth and continues to engage groundbreaking industries like gaming, animation and esports that attract new career and development prospects for our state,” said Georgia Center of Innovation Senior Industry Engagement Manager Asante Bradford. “Events like Games Week Georgia put our state’s thriving creative ecosystem in the spotlight and show Georgia’s students that jobs of the future are here and within their reach.”
Grant Wainscott, Vice Chair of the Atlanta Esports Alliance added, “Georgia, and specifically metro Atlanta, has solidified its reputation as a global hub of creativity, talent, and influence. Games Week Georgia as a part of InnovATL2024 allows us to demonstrate how gaming drives both innovation and workforce development to feed our overall tech ecosystem.”

As one important element of workforce development and diversifying the gaming industry, Games Week Georgia will host five women from the BroadcastHER Academy Fellowship for Women in Esports and Gaming via an all-expense paid trip to Atlanta, experiential learning and mentoring from Skillshot Media, Ghost Gaming, and other partners of the 1,000 Dreams Fund initiative.

The developer of the popular free-to-play fighting game Brawlhalla has implemented an exclusive in-game title of “Wish Maker” which will be granted, along with a newly released profile Avatar, to individuals who donate to Make-A-Wish Georgia during the three day Brawlhalla World Championship live event and live-stream broadcast.

A unique Brawlhalla collectable item will also be awarded to the highest individual donor each day of the broadcast.

This Brawlhalla partnership is the first major game publisher extension of a Make-A-Wish Georgia partnership first announced by Skillshot and Ghost Gaming in April of this year.

“We continue to use our platform to amplify the amazing work of Make-A-Wish Georgia in delivering hope to young people and their families”, said Skillshot President, Nabil Ismail.  “We are so very appreciative of the Brawlhalla developers who jumped enthusiastically on this opportunity to introduce Make-A-Wish Georgia to their community”
“Our studio was enthusiastic and honored to partner with Make-A-Wish Georgia”, said Brawlhalla Esports Director Mateo Palfreman, “They are a beloved organization and it is our honor to support their mission in granting wishes for kids battling life-threatening illnesses”.

Make-A-Wish Georgia grants wishes for children with critical illnesses since the chapter’s founding in 1995. There is still a great need for support to grant the wishes that are waiting. To learn more and find out how to get involved, visit georgia.wish.org.

The Chill Munin Avatar will be granted along with a Wish Maker In-Game Title to those who donate to Make-A-Wish Georgia during the Brawlhalla World Championship event
