Dear FSGA Members,

As we count down the days to our Winter Conference, I can’t help but feel energized by the momentum building across our community. The programming is strong, the conversations are timely, and we cannot wait to see everyone together Feb. 17-18 at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Day 1 sets the tone with connection and creativity. We’ll kick things off with speed networking, followed by hands-on workshops on AI and Brand Development. From there, we’ll dig into an Ask Me Anything session on building a national, 24/7 sports betting media brand, welcome our first-time attendees and new members, and spotlight innovation during our always-competitive Elevator Pitch Competition.

Day 2 keeps pace with sessions focused on prediction markets, sharpening brand messaging, standing out in an increasingly crowded landscape, and activating relationships with affiliates, sponsors, and influencers, and more. We’ll also celebrate excellence during our awards presentation and, of course, leave plenty of room for what FSGA does best: networking, networking, and more networking!

We’re also excited about the new pre-conference webinars designed specifically for first-time attendees. One session took place this past Tuesday, and the final webinar is tonight, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. ET. These sessions are all about helping new members and new attendees hit the ground running before they arrive in Vegas.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out our latest FSGA Spotlight podcast episode, From Community to Company: Building a Fantasy Football Media Brand with Faraz Siddiqi. Faraz shares how he scaled an engaged fantasy football community into a sustainable media business, offering practical insights on audience trust, content strategy, and long-term growth. You can find it on the FSGA podcast feed.

Beyond the conference, we continue to closely monitor legislative activity across the country related to fantasy sports, sports betting, iGaming, and prediction markets. As new products and services emerge, it’s critical that we remain mindful of evolving competition and potential re-regulation. Just as importantly, we must continue to lead through responsible self-regulation and advocate for the frameworks that allow our industry to grow and innovate.

Finally, we’re thrilled with the launch of our newly redesigned website at the end of January. This is an important step in strengthening digital engagement for our members, with more enhancements to come.

One last reminder to renew your membership for 2026, if you haven’t already, before benefits begin to sunset next month. We want to keep everyone fully engaged and connected.

Looking forward to seeing you soon in Vegas!

Warm regards,
Brandon Loeschner
Chair, FSGA Board of Directors
