Chair's Message - May 2025
Dear FSGA Members,
The calendar is filling up fast, and so is our excitement as we prepare for a busy stretch of industry activity. Whether you’re joining us in Fort Lauderdale next week at the SBC Summit Americas show or planning ahead for the FSGA Summer Conference, there’s a lot happening in and around the FSGA community—and we can’t wait to connect with you.
First up: SBC Summit Americas is just around the corner, and we’re looking forward to seeing many of you there! If you’re attending the May 13-15 conference, make sure to swing by the FSGA booth—now located at M20.
While you're in town, don’t miss our FSGA Member Meetup at Tin Roof in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, May 13 from 3:30–5 p.m. ET. This casual get-together is a chance to unwind, reconnect, and meet fellow members in a laid-back setting. Huge thanks to our generous sponsors, CBS Sports Digital and Underdog Fantasy, for making this meetup possible. Click here to RSVP – we’d love to see you there!
The FSGA is also proud to have curated four incredible sessions at SBC, showcasing the thought leadership and expertise within our community. Make time to attend each of these panels on Wednesday, May 14. FSGA Board of Directors members will be moderating or participating on each panel:
- The State of Fantasy Sports in America, 2:45-3:10 ET/Conference Room 1
- Crossover between Fantasy Sports & Sports Betting, 3:10-3:35 ET/Conference Room 1
- Paid Fantasy Sports & Sports Betting – Legislation & Regulation Differences, 3:35-4:20 ET/Conference Room 1
- The Evolution of Sports on the Internet: SportsLine USA, 4:30-4:50 ET/Conference Room 1
Looking further ahead, we hope you’ve already marked your calendars for the FSGA Summer Conference, taking place June 30 – July 1 at the Westin River North in Chicago, IL. This is one of our two FSGA showcase events and a can’t-miss opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore emerging trends, and gain insights that move your business forward.
The FSGA is especially excited to announce our 2025 Summer Conference Keynote session, featuring Kay Adams, the host and creator of Up & Adams, and Nate Ravitz, former ESPN SVP & a Fantasy Sports Writers Association Hall of Famer. The two will explore Adams' journey from SiriusXM to NBC Sports to Good Morning Football to building her own multiplatform NFL brand as well as her approach to authenticity in sports media and how she connects with fans across TV, streaming, and social platforms.
Don’t wait—register before May 30 to secure the Early Bird Rate, and book your room through our discounted Westin River North room block before it fills up.
Finally, we’re growing our digital presence! The FSGA YouTube channel is now live, and our latest episode of the FSGA podcast—featuring a conversation with Toptal—is available to watch now. This is just one of many upcoming videos that extend the value of conference sessions beyond the event itself. Subscribe to our channel here and stay tuned for more expert insights, interviews, and content created just for our members.
As always, thank you for being part of the FSGA. We can’t wait to see you in Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, or both!
Best regards,
Brandon Loeschner
Chair, FSGA Board of Directors
