Thriving With Esports Events During a Pandemic & Shutdown

A pandemic may feel like the worst thing in the world for a Visitors and Conventions Bureau, but through hardship can come opportunity. That’s exactly what the Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau did amid the 2020 shutdown. 

Ed Tomasi and Loren Gold talk to Megan Van Patten today on Esports Connected to talk about the impact esports has had on the City of Raleigh. They also discuss the pivot from live events to virtual, and why it ended up being a silver lining for finding opportunities for not just those visiting Raleigh, but those also living in Raleigh.
