About The Event
Fans are the heart of the sports business.
Ask any player and they’ll tell you that the roaring crowds are one of the main reasons why they love the game. Ask any executive and they’ll tell you that a highly-engaged fan base is the key to selling the tickets, merch, and TV spots to hitting revenue goals.
We’ll talk about all of the above and much more during Future of Sports: Fan Engagement presented by Wicket — the latest event in our series of panel discussions about the hottest topics and strategies across the business of sports.
We’re bringing together an esteemed cast of industry experts to go deep on leveraging diehard supporters to grow your business, how to build a close connection with your fans on social media, and the importance of crafting an unforgettable fan experience at live sporting events.
Event now available on-demand.
