"I’ve got an awesome team full of wild ideas to grow these events into more meaningful experiential gatherings, and I’m looking forward to doing so.”

Shahin Zarrabi, the vice president of festivals at EFG, expressed excitement as well. Blomberg's involvement in shaping the festivals in North America means bringing in expertise from renowned gaming events.

DreamHack Atlanta and DreamHack Dallas 2024 dates

According to the announcement, Blomberg's goal is to carry the momentum of DreamHack San Diego plus Dallas and carry it into 2024. The announcement also noted that the festival will not return to San Diego next year due to scheduling issues.
