“I couldn’t pick a better city to do this event in. And especially over Memorial Day weekend,” Parsons said. “So it’s super-fitting that we are doing it in San Antonio, where essential, brand-new airmen and guardians come here for basic training.” Earlier this month, Tech Port Center + Arena hosted its first concert with Smashing Pumpkins, followed by its first major esports event, Overwatch League’s “Battle for Texas.” That video game shootout between the Houston Outlaws and Dallas Fuel was the esports league’s first live and in-person event in North America since 2020.
“How does technology, writ large, ultimately transform our military? I think that’s a thread that pulls through for ForceCon,” said Will Garrett, Port San Antonio’s vice president of talent and technology development and integration.
