Creative Futures

We had a fantastic time at Birmingham Tech Week, including representing Esports and our world-class centre in a panel discussion with our President of Warwick Esports, Vic Reile, Esports Centre Assistant, Suket Arya and our Associate Director, Clare Green. Councillor Ian Courts also made an exciting announcement that the 2025 Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) will host its first arena event of the year in Solihull next year (27 to 30 March 2025). To host the event, Solihull Council is working in partnership with BLAST, the British Esports Federation, NEC Group, West Midlands Growth Company and the University of Warwick. We're really looking forward to seeing our region further embrace Esports and CreaTech more widely, and we're ready to help lead the way!
