Founder-Led Since 2003
Our MD, Jon Winkle, ran his first gaming event in 2003 while studying at university as a hobby before moving on to a full time career in the marketing industry specialising in leisure and fitness marketing in the public and charitable sector.
Throughout that time, Jon continued to run gaming events alongside his successful marketing career as EPIC.LAN grew to become one of the most respected names in community gaming and esports in the UK before finally taking the full time leap in 2018.
Now with nearly 20 years of experience, Jon and the EPIC.LAN team are often asked to advise on gaming and esports projects from the outset. Whether that’s simple queries like how much time is needed to run a tournament, through to complex technical solutions around game data to developing esports tournament series, events, brand strategy or facility development.
