Member Testimonials
Our association is focused on bringing together the esports community to enable sustainable growth for our industry.
My membership in ESTA has been very resourceful. I’ve been able to connect with key members from firms such as YouGOv to help support the work I execute for clients. I feel members of the ESTA have a great understanding of the esports industry which is a valuable tool for anyone.
ESTA has allowed our firm to network with several business owners, referral sources and potential clients within the eSports space. Even though 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.
The setup of the ESTA conference was excellent, it's very intimate, you can engage with the speakers and participants to really get your questions answered and being in touch with real professionals.
Megan and ESTA has formed a fantastic community of gamers and advocates of the gaming community in one location. The membership is heartfelt and active, working with ESTA has been a great pleasure and mutually beneficial.
