The Adaptive Esports Summit celebrates the power of Esports to break down barriers and empower gamers of all abilities.

We create a more inclusive and accessible gaming community by promoting the development of adaptive gaming technology and esports accessibility for people with disabilities.

Creating a More Inclusive Gaming Community

We bring together gamers, industry leaders, and technology innovators to share ideas and solutions for adaptive gaming.

We believe that the power of gaming should be accessible to all, regardless of physical limitations, and technology can help bridge that gap.

Accessibility in Gaming

66%
of gamers with disabilities face barriers in gaming
30%
cite affordability of assistive tech as main barrier
31%
want platforms to tackle negative attitudes online

Disabled gamers are more engaged across key platforms and spend more time gaming per session than non-disabled gamers.
