The 2023 China e-Sports Industry Conference and the Cultural and Creative Industries Conference (Tianhe Summit) will be held from Mar 23 to 24 at the Guangzhou Library. 

The two conferences will jointly showcase the high-quality cultural development of Tianhe district, Guangzhou.

The Cultural and Creative Industries Conference will feature a main forum, the annual China Metaverse Industry Conference, and another six sub-forums that will focus on emerging industries such as gaming, cultural tourism, advertising, art, and technology.

The 2023 China Metaverse Industry Conference will invite domestic experts and entrepreneurs from industries such as the metaverse, digital technology, and digital culture. They will discuss the development opportunities and challenges of China's emerging metaverse industry.

Tianhe has insisted on metaverse empowerment in order to open up new markets for cultural creativity. It has pre-empted the metaverse industry boom by signing up 30 metaverse units and 15 application construction projects. This gives the district a strong impetus to the development of the metaverse industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and even nationwide.

Tianhe has made exciting achievements in promoting the development of its cultural industries, especially digital cultural industries. In 2023, the total revenue of major cultural industry enterprises in Tianhe is expected to exceed 200 billion yuan ($28.98 billion).
