The Esports Trade Association’s mission, in a nutshell, is to provide resources to make the gaming industry better. Today, the Association has eight committees working to provide the best resources available, helping both endemic and non-endemic companies join, contribute, and grow themselves while they help develop the industry. 

Today, the great MVP, Megan Van Petten, joins us to talk about the Esports Trade Association, its origins, their day-to-day job, and how they contribute to the industry and the community. Megan also talked about why endemic and non-endemic companies should join the Esports Trade Association and how they can benefit from it, help develop the industry, and contribute to the community. Together, we go over some of the Esports Next Conference highlights and what we can expect at the event in the following days.
