Chair's Message - December 2025
Dear FSGA Members,
As we wind down the year and head into the holiday season, I want to take a moment to share my sincere appreciation for each of you. Our community thrives because of your engagement, your ideas, your collaboration, and the genuine way you show up for one another. We’ve accomplished a tremendous amount together this year, and I’m grateful for the conversations, the momentum, and the relationships that define the FSGA.
Looking ahead, the FSGA Board of Directors has been hard at work setting our priorities and budget for 2026. We’re excited about the direction ahead, and we expect to share an updated strategic framework with the full membership early in the new year. Thank you for the feedback and insights you continue to offer as it plays a critical role in shaping our path forward.
Before everyone breaks for the holidays, I want to remind you that only a few days remain to take advantage of the Early Bird member rate for the 2026 FSGA Winter Conference. After December 15, registration for the February 17-18 event will increase by $300, so this is truly the best time to secure your spot. You can also explore this year’s lineup of impactful sessions and book your hotel stay using our Circa Las Vegas booking site. As always, we strongly encourage staying at the host hotel so you don’t miss one minute of the networking, connection, and late-night collaboration that happens there.
While you’re planning ahead, please mark your calendars for the 2026 FSGA Summer Conference, taking place July 8–9, 2026, at The Logan Philadelphia, Curio Collection by Hilton. We’re also excited to continue our FSGA Member Meetups in 2026 with the support of CBS Sports Digital and Underdog Fantasy at NEXT.io, SBC, Fantasy Football Expo, and G2E. Stay tuned for more information in the new year! Stay tuned for more information in the new year!
If you haven’t yet listened to our latest podcast episode, Building the Future of Fantasy Sports: Women Founders, On-Air Talent & New Tech, I encourage you to check it out. Lauren Jump of RotoWire sits down with three powerhouse women in fantasy sports and gaming - Laces Sports founder Kamini Manivannan, Approvely CEO Chelsie Cooper, and CBS Sports analyst Claudia Bellofatto - to explore innovation, entrepreneurship, and the future of the industry.
And finally, a friendly reminder: don’t let your member benefits expire at year-end! Please take a moment to complete your 2026 renewal so you can stay connected and continue to access the opportunities, insights, and network that make the FSGA so special.
Wishing each of you a safe, peaceful, and hopeful holiday season—and an even brighter year ahead.
Warm regards,
Brandon Loeschner
Chair, FSGA Board of Directors
