success of many previous events, such as the long-running, annual Geena Davis’ Bentonville Film Festival, Inclusion Companies have a well-established relationship with many national retailers.
Inclusion Companies is driving Rewired Fest with an aggressive PR strategy and comprehensive outreach to gamers in North America for the entirety of the online event, running from June to September.
Rewired Fest offers participating gamers a chance to compete for a prize pool of $100,000 brought to you by ReWired Fest LLC and the sponsorship partners.
Qualifying online tournaments begin in June and run through until September 2021. Players who qualify are then invited to participate in the finals, which will be broadcast live on October 21st and 22nd.
Mogul and Inclusion Companies Partnership
This partnership represents a new and repeatable revenue stream for Mogul as the ReWired Festival represents the first in a multi-year, multi-event series.
The Agreement adds material strategic value to Mogul’s push into North America and follows on from Kellogg's North American Halo 5 Tournament Series (ASX A nnouncement 11th March 2021 ). Showcasing our best-in-class tournament platform technology and services expertise with globally recognised brands assists the Company in developing its sales pipeline.
Sit’n’Go Technology Launch
Mogul’s innovative Sit’n’Go technology offers festival gamers an ‘always-on’ esports tournament experience. For the first time on Mogul.gg players don’t have to wait to compete at a specific scheduled tournament time. Now players also have the option to register for the tournament and opt to play right then and there. The site then finds a player of a similar ability who is also looking to play at the same time, matching them to compete against each other on the spot.
In the past, players have reported frustration in having to wait to play in a tournament which may not start for hours, or even days, from the time they sign up. Mogul’s dynamic matchmaking feature provides a solution to this, increasing player engagement, day-to-day player retention and provides the immediate gratification necessary to ensure gamers continue to choose esports over traditional media such as TV and music.
Continued Traction in North America
Mogul CEO Michael Rubinelli said “We have made significant investments in furthering forward momentum in the North American market. The opportunity to run the esports component of this event further showcases our platform to the largest brands in the country. The initiative gives further

credibility to the formation of our solutions engineering team, who worked with Inclusion Companies to design the overall tournament experience, game integration, tournament structure and sponsorship tiers. I look forward to sharing more information on our webinar on May 21st so please click on this link to register."
Inclusion Companies CEO Trevor Drinkwater said “We are very excited to be bringing a new level of activation to the overall ReWired Fest experience. Mogul’s technology means we can engage both our target audience and brand sponsors months in advance of the physical event. With gaming being a core content track at the event, an esports tournament experience on the run-up brings our brand sponsors closer to gamers than ever before.”
