This November, Singapore Expo will host one of the year’s most anticipated tech events: The Tech Show (TTS) 2024. Known for spotlighting the latest in consumer electronics, this year’s edition is amplifying its focus on gaming, aiming to create a unique gathering space for Singapore’s diverse gaming community. From nationwide esports tournaments to influencer showdowns and exclusive tech showcases, TTS 2024 promises a weekend that brings players, fans, and tech enthusiasts together.

A Stage for Young and Aspiring Esports Athletes

One highlight of TTS 2024 is the partnership with the Singapore Cybersports & Online Gaming Association (SCOGA) for the Campus Legends Secondary School tournament. This event invites young gamers from secondary schools across Singapore to compete on a national platform, celebrating esports as a skill-based pursuit that fosters teamwork and discipline. SCOGA President Dennis Ooi sees this partnership as a chance to spotlight young talents and promote a healthy, competitive gaming culture in Singapore’s schools.

A Community Cup for Gamers of All Levels

TTS 2024 will also feature the first Stellar Esports Cup, which will host over 60 teams in games like Valorant and Mobile Legends Bang Bang. Supported by brands like Predator and Logitech, the event opens up opportunities for gamers at all skill levels to come together and experience the energy of live, community-based competitions. With a prize pool of $15,000, this tournament highlights the rising popularity of esports across generations and skill levels in Singapore.

Influencer Showdowns and the Paper Rex Meet-and-Greet

Another major draw of TTS 2024 is its emphasis on gaming culture. On November 16, fans can watch a live showdown as influencers like @HeyThomask and @Stylobin face off against their followers. Additionally, Paper Rex—one of the most well-known Valorant teams on the international stage—will make a special appearance. Co-founder Nikhil Hathiramani sees the event as a rare opportunity for Singaporean fans to connect directly with local esports talent and foster a stronger community identity.

Beyond Gaming: Marketplace, Deals, and Sustainable Shopping

TTS 2024 isn’t only about competitions. It’s also a marketplace for the latest gaming tech, from brands like Aftershock PC and Dreamcore to gaming chair specialists like SecretLab and TTRacing. Visitors can look forward to discounts of up to 80% on a range of items and enter prize draws for high-end tech and travel prizes with every $500 spent.

For those interested in sustainable shopping, the Carousell booth will offer certified pre-owned smartphones, allowing visitors to shop consciously while benefiting from reduced prices.
