Video games, talks, and camping are coming up this weekend at the latest edition of Benidorm Games Event
Starting tomorrow, Friday, the Department of Youth will hold a new edition of its annual major technology event for video games and PCs, the "Benidorm Games Event." The event will take place on the Carrer de Pilota at the Palau d'Esports l'Illa in Benidorm from October 17 to 19, with financial support from the Alicante Provincial Council. As in previous years, there will be several designated areas at the event: Freestyle, Lan, and Camping, explained the Councilor for Youth, Ana Soliveres, who invited young fans of these games to participate in the activities.
Soliveres has specified that the first area will feature PS5, XBOX Series X, driving peripherals, and virtual reality stations, so that participants can enjoy the newest or most popular video games, such as Fortnite, Brawl Star, Clash Royale, Apex Legends, Pro, FIFA, Tekken, Forza, Rocket League, and Lego, among others. A mobile zone and Wi-Fi hotspots will also be available for mobile devices and tablets.
In the LAN Zone, 50 stations will be set up for users who come to the event with their peripherals (PCs, screens, consoles, etc.). This space will host several conferences. These will include those titled "Electronic Entertainment as a Cultural and Social Asset," "Video Games and e-Sports: Prejudices and Realities," and "Content Creators."
Finally, there will be a Camping Area set up in an area adjacent to the building for those who want to set up their tents for the night or as a place to relax. Break.
Regarding the schedule, the 'Benidorm Games Event' will start on Friday the 17th at 5:00 p.m. and will run until midnight. The following day, the schedule will be from 12:00 p.m. to midnight, and on the last day, Sunday the 19th, from midnight to midnight.
The Councilor for Youth reminded everyone that "registration is free and is not required for the free use of video games. However, if you wish to participate in a tournament, you must indicate this, as well as whether you will be using your own PC or game console, or using the camping area." To do so, participants must provide their full name, phone number, and ID number. Those who wish to use their own equipment must bring a complete computer or game console with everything necessary, and all electrical and broadband internet connections will be provided.
