2010 Sports Conference Schedule
I ran a listing of prominent sports related business conferences a few months back so I thought it was time to revisit some of the ones coming up that you may consider attending at the end of 2009 or to plan for 2010. This is by no means a complete list. However, we all know this business is about connections and what a better place to improve your rolodex by visiting, learning and networking at one of these seminars.
One of the first conferences on the schedule is one in the next week. On November 12 & 13, the SportsBusiness Journal, SportsBusiness Daily and the Fantasy Sports Association will host the 11th annual FSA Sports Media & Technology (SMT) conference at the Marriott Marquis.
