(OTCQB:VRSSF) (FRANKFURT:BMVA) today announced a speaking engagement for the company's founder and CEO Matthew Pierce at LD Micro’s
Main Event.
LD Micro’s Main Event is hosting its 10th Annual conference in Los Angeles at the
Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA December 5th through the 7th 2017. The fastest-growing media segment is
competitive gaming and eSports, a market opportunity Pierce and the Versus team seek to expand on behalf of all game developers,
publishers, brands and gamers. The 10th annual Main Event brings together experts from microcap companies.
Pierce will be discussing how brands can work with over one billion players worldwide in the Reaching the Global Gaming

Pierce, CEO of Versus Systems. “The Versus Systems platform has the potential to connect with gamers on an emotional level inside
their favorite games, inspiring them to get back in-game at a higher frequency. We’re going to increase engagement and growth for
our game developers and increase brand loyalty for our prizing partners. We are here to make the gaming experience even more fun
than it already is.” LD Micro’s Main Event will feature presentations from the CEOs of over 250 micro cap companies in attendance,

more. (Conference speaking date: 12/6/17)
Pierce has spent his career working on the convergence of technology and entertainment including his work at the Boston
Consulting Group and at Warner Bros., in addition to co-founding Rosum Corporation, which later sold to TruePosition, and founding
O-Labs, an LA-based technology incubator that was a joint venture of Originate, Inc., Manatt Phelps & Phillips, and ICM Partners.
