The Gathering 2025



At The Gathering 2025, I held two distinct roles, combining competitive event management with institutional representation.
In my first role, I was responsible for overseeing and running several esports tournaments, most notably the Valorant tournament, which featured a prize pool of NOK 100,000. My duties included designing tournament formats, creating and enforcing rules, building schedules, and serving as an administrator during the event. I also led one of the regional tryouts to select the qualifying team from the University of Agder, ensuring their preparation and fair inclusion in the main tournament.
In parallel, I coordinated the full representation of UiA Kraken at the event. I led a group of 12 students to participate across titles such as Valorant and Rocket League, in addition to several students serving as part of the support crew, including media. I managed all planning and logistics—covering accommodation, transport, and scheduling—ensuring a smooth and professional presence throughout the week.
I also oversaw media production and output during the event, ensuring we maintained consistent, quality coverage and fulfilled our responsibilities to key stakeholders, including our main sponsor, Gard AS. This dual role allowed me to apply my skills in both project coordination and tournament operations on a national stage.
