This will give you quality time to network, and learn from, individuals from established programs from around the country. There will also be a Call of Duty fundraiser event hosted by the Variety Club of Iowa on Friday night that all clinic participants can choose to participate in. There will also be amazing door prizes for those in attendance!

The clinic will also feature sponsor companies that provide products, resources, and services to help you start or enhance the esports program on your campus.
