“Events like CEX can help drive more opportunities for college students to engage with esports”

“Events like this are great …to have people who are all dealing with the same issues together in one room is extremely important”

“If you don’t have participation, and I don’t just mean women, I mean if you don’t have people of color, if the queer kids aren’t coming to your club, now is the time where you really have to stop and think about that…these types of experiences are important”

“Having a partnership with a professional organization so the students can see who can help them network in the space is crucial to the growth of our organization.”

“The industry is so new and the infrastructure is still being built out.  It requires all of us being in the same room to have the conversations that form what the industry will be like and if it wasn’t for events like this then we wouldn’t have this opportunity”

” CEX was worth coming all the way down from Canada. It’s always refreshing to meet people you’ve never met in person.”
