We are living in a transformative time period in sports advocacy and social responsibility. How corporations, its employees and philanthropists evolve with it is an opportunity in itself. This conference brings together representatives on the forefront of those changes to discuss how they have successfully navigated through the social awakening in sports and entertainment, as well as what practices, policies and tools they apply to embrace an ever-evolving socially responsible landscape.

Sports marketing is one of those industries that is so broad and means something different depending on the company, the role and where it fits within the industry. This conference will help illuminate what it means to do sports marketing on the team side, brand side, individual athlete side, as well how sports marketing also fits within sponsorship and partnership roles. If you aren't sure where you fit in or what skills these roles actually entail, then this is the conference for you. Or, if you are already in the sports marketing field and would like to hear some insight from your peers to get inspired for the next big idea - look no further than this conference which brings everyone together in an open forum. 

The sports media conference covers all of the public facing roles of working in sports such as journalists, public relations, social and digital media and corporate communications. These roles include all of the ways that the general public interacts and identifies a team, league or athlete. These are the storytellers. Whether it's a reporter sharing a story, a communications professional advising an athlete on how to take their story to the public, a videographer capturing the aesthetic to accurately portray a story or a corporate communications professional deepening the brand story through sharing impactful stories. This conference will help you identify tangible skills that you need to break in and find success in the robust sports media world. 

We decided to blend the sports entrepreneurship and finance conference because whether an entrepreneur likes it or not, you need to have a fiscally responsible business plan if you want to run a successful start-up. No matter how great an idea is, it won't be sustainable without having your finances in order. This conference brings together the sports entrepreneurs that have successfully navigated the increasingly attractive sports start-up world and also brings together some of the best financial advisors in the game. These are some of the financial advisors that offer services to our clients and they are a critical part of the athlete growth plan, so it's much more than crunching numbers. You will also hear from some of the technology and analytical companies that our entrepreneurs use to help keep their business thriving. If you are considering venturing out into the exciting world of entrepreneurship, this is the one-stop, all encompassing conference for you.
