The Minds Behind the Game
Inside the Intersection of Sports and Technology
We’d like to announce Chat Sports: The Minds Behind the Game, a major event and candid exploration into the impact of technology on the very future of sports business.
We set out to create an experience with the intellectual caliber of a conference, the organic curiosity of a classroom, and the intimacy of a party — all shared with a group of the Bay Area’s brightest, most diverse minds in sports and technology.
Join Kirk Lacob, Assistant GM of the Golden State Warriors, David Aufhauser, Head Pac-12 Digital, and Brano Perkovich, Director of New Ventures at the 49ers for the realization of that vision: an event that unites all of the above.
Sports and nostalgia go hand-in-hand, yet they continually push our boundaries into the future. At Chat Sports, we believe in fan identity and the way our teams tether us to our roots: our hometowns and colleges, our memories and traditions. But the role of technology grows every year, from on-field wearables tracking complex injury data to unique mobile apps for each wifi-enabled stadium.
We have convened the group to wrestle with these overlapping spheres of sports and technology. From push notification providers and a/b testers to sports media giants, from representatives of pro teams and tiny start-ups to corporate sponsors and journalists, this is a gathering of stakeholders primed to innovate.
The event is on December 16th at 6:00pm. And we can’t wait. But we’re even more exited to share the anecdotes, debates, and breakthroughs with you here on Medium afterward. So please check back.
We’ll also be live-streaming the event so that the experience can be shared nationwide. You can watch the panel in real-time at www.chatsports.com/stream at 6:45pm on Tuesday, December 16.
