SEGi University & Colleges is gearing up for its highly anticipated Game On Expo, which is set to return for its second year with an even more exciting line-up of activities and competitions. The two-day event, which will be held on 29 and 30 April 2023 at Paradigm Mall Petaling Jaya, promises to be bigger and better than ever.
One of the main attractions at the Game On Expo is the Youth eSports Challenge, where participants battle it out in the popular games Honor of Kings and PUBG Mobile to win amazing prizes. There’s also Cosplay & Lookalike Challenge, Dance Challenge, and Lucky Draws, with prizes worth RM40,000.
Partner companies of SEGi, such as Marshall, SONY, Neutrovis, realme, and DE Entertainment, will also be showcasing their latest technologies and innovations in their respective booths during the two-day event.
“SEGi recognises that the youth of today are a generation of learners who thrive in the world of gaming. With this in mind, we proudly present the Game On Expo, a platform that employs eSports as a revolutionary approach to education,” said Edward Low, SEGi University & Colleges Outreach & Partnership director.
Low added that by engaging in eSports, students can harness a range of social and cognitive benefits, from honing hand-eye coordination and improving attention and visual acuity to fostering problem-solving skills, strategic planning, and teamwork coordination.
“At SEGi, we strive to stay ahead of the curve and embrace the latest trends and innovations. We even set up eSports labs across all our campuses for students to spend their free-time, to empower our students with a cutting-edge, impactful and meaningful learning experience that will help them achieve their full potential,” he said.
The Game On Expo’s main organisers is SEGi University & Colleges, Paradigm Mall, realme, and co-organisers include AlphaGo Motorrad, Celsius, Dadi Cinema, DE Entertainment, Magnus Games Studio, Neutrovis, Penang Youth Development Corporation, Sony Malaysia, Spectruck, and TT Racing.

During a press conference held at Petaling Jaya, SEGi and realme also announced the realme scholarship programme, worth RM150,000, which will be awarded to 20 students across five SEGi campuses. This programme aims to produce industry-relevant graduates to meet the demands of professionals. The realme scholarship programme is part of the company’s vision to empower the youth and provide support and opportunity to youth today to show off their talent. At the same time, SEGi also announced the partnership with Miss Universe Malaysia to run the pageant in SEGi.
