This May, DreamHack, in partnership with The Trade Group, will launch its first event for gamers in North America. DreamHack describes the 3-day event as “a meeting place for gamers,” centered around a “massive LAN party.” Other activities include “world class esport tournaments,” DreamExpo and Cosplay.
As the Official Contractor of DreamHack Austin, The Trade Group will provide a full spectrum of services to participants and exhibitors including design, graphic production, exhibit production, labor services, material handling and transportation.
For the past 30 years, The Trade Group has produced thousands of branded events and environments, with gaming being one if its key niches.
According to Chris Stone, President and Founder of The Trade Group, “Gaming is one area where we have really honed our expertise over the past several years. We believe it’s important to take a collaborative approach, so we always work closely with game developers and esport event managers to ensure we create the best experience possible for event participants and exhibitors.”
The Trade Group’s deep connection with game developers, primarily in the area of esports, and experience producing successful esport events worldwide, fostered the opportunity for DreamHack and The Trade Group to partner for the North American launch.
As Stone explains, “DreamHack knew we had both the experience and a crystal clear understanding of the special requirements needed to make an esports event like DreamHack successful.” With The Trade Group, DreamHack also found to a team of experts in a wide range of disciplines.
“Through our partnership, we’ve been able to surround DreamHack with some of the top event professionals in the esports industry. We’ve been building our team of designers, engineers, business development, event marketers, account managers and logistics specialists for 30 years, and that experience pays off for partners like DreamHack,” says Stone.
As the first event nears, Stone is looking forward to an enduring and successful partnership with the DreamHack team.

DreamHack and The Trade Group have collaborated extensively to heighten participant experience and position DreamHack as the ‘must attend’ event for gaming enthusiasts. We hope to see you there.”
