As a member of ESTA’s Preferred Partner Program, SHI had an outstanding experience leveraging the dedicated email blast service.

The association is focused on bringing together the esports community to enable sustainable growth for our industry. I'm grateful for the connections I've made and will continue to make especially due to my involvement on the Education Committee.
My membership has been very resourceful. I’ve been able to connect with key members at various events including the conference and townhalls. I feel that members of Esports Trade Association have a great understanding of the esports industry which is a valuable tool for anyone.
Esports Trade Association has allowed our firm to network with several business owners, referral sources and potential clients within the esports space. Even through the challenges of COVID-19 we were able to make connections in the industry, and meet individuals who were interested in utilizing our services. We are thrilled with the additional exposure our firm has received in our local market and across the country within the industry.
As a sponsor of EsportsNext, we were thrilled to see the impact on our organization. Not only did we feel good about supporting the esports community, but the contributions from the Impact Fund helped us provide resources to support our pediatric patients and their families. It was a win-win situation for us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Esports Trade Association in the future.
The setup of the Esports Trade Association conference was excellent, it's very intimate, you can engage with the speakers and participants to really get your questions answered and get in touch with real professionals.
