College Fair in a Virtual Environment | 

Regina Riley Higher Education Director Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma & Peter Perez VP Business Development at Gamerjibe 



YouTube VOD- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqRxcXg7GVc&t=19s

In May of this year Regina saw Gamerjibe host an esports and gaming career fest in a virtual world  and she wanted to create a new way for students to engage with colleges/universities outside of a traditional video conferencing platform. 

Nearly 800 students from 13 school districts have signed up for the fair with the opportunity to meet with 50 colleges and universities. All Iowa tribal members 9th through 12th grade are invited to RSVP for the event.

Peter talks about the growth that Gamerjibe has seen over this year and how the platform is changing the way event organizers are building virtual experiences from startup pitch events, company happy hours, music festivals, fintech conferences and educational events like this college fair.
