Keynote | The Explosion of Esports: From Trends to Opportunities in Higher Ed

How could we pass up the opportunity to talk sports at Citi Field? So, we invited keynote speaker Ashley "AJ" Jones, director of Membership Sales and Services at the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE), to share recent trends and provide insight into the explosion of esports in higher ed today. With more than 200 colleges and universities that she represents at NACE, AJ has her finger on the pulse of what is trending today and what the near future of esports programs look like and translates that into opportunities. AJ comes to esports with calloused hands as she was the Esports Head Coach at Park University in Parkville, Missouri, before joining NACE.
