Share your goals, experience, and interests
Intentional introductions sent to your inbox every Monday
When you match, you meet – book time on their calendar immediately
Arena is application-based by design. We curate our community to keep introductions meaningful and built on mutual intent.
Right now, Arena is for:
Mid- to senior-level professionals (manager+)
People currently working at a league, team, studio, network, publisher, venue, streaming platform, record label, or brand (or worked at one of these companies within the past year)
Professionals based in the U.S. or Canada
We’re starting with a focused, industry-first community to ensure quality connections.
More roles, industries, and career stages are coming soon.
Each week, Arena curates introductions based on your goals, experience, interests, and the types of relationships you want to build. You decide which intros you’re open to meeting – nothing is automatic or forced.
Applying to Arena is free. Approved members can access the Arena community and participate in select events. Curated introductions are part of Arena’s membership experience and include a one month free trial. Learn more about Arena memberships here.
No. Arena isn’t a social feed, job board, or mass outreach tool. It’s designed for intentional, personalized, one-to-one introductions that lead to new conversations and professional relationships.
