AISES And FanDuel Partnership To Create Job Opportunities
FanDuel will officially become the marquee sponsor of the Annual AISES Conference in San Antonio. The event will host over 3,000 attendees and run from Oct. 3-5.

AISES has a large, well-established footprint, with chapters and individual members spanning the U.S. and Canada. With FanDuel’s position in the gaming industry, Indigenous people have a clear path to enter and find STEM careers.
“AISES stands as an unparalleled leader in advancing Indigenous people in STEM,” said Sarah EchoHawk, AISES President. “By forging vital relationships in sectors like gaming—a cornerstone of economic and workforce development for many tribal communities—we are not just empowering future generations; we are solidifying our role as a formidable force for tribal sovereignty. Our partnership with FanDuel underscores our mutual dedication to elevating Indigenous talent in STEM, and together, we’re poised to unlock new opportunities in the gaming industry.”
