Staying Ahead of the Game
|
| Los
Angeles, CA July 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Innovation has always been
a hallmark of the sports-event industry. During the 20 years that we have
published SportsTravel
magazine, we have seen innumerable new sports organizations enter the
marketplace and, with them, countless new events created. Tracking and
reporting on these organizations and events is our mission at SportsTravel.
Similarly, staying on the leading edge of the dynamic and ever-changing
sports-event industry is our primary objective as we plan the programming
for our annual TEAMS Conference
& Expo.
|  To
that end, we are pleased to announce a number of new features at TEAMS
17, which will be held October 30-November 2 in Orlando. One of the absolute
hottest trends of the last several years is the incredible growth in the
number of events surrounding e-sports. At TEAMS 17, we will be devoting
an entire track of programming to e-sports, both to provide insights for
destinations wanting to host these cutting-edge events and for event organizers
who want to learn from their explosive growth. This segment of the sports
industry differs from traditional sports in many ways and at TEAMS 17,
attendees will come away with a clearer understanding of how e-sports will
influence the future direction of the sports-event industry.
The e-sports track at TEAMS 17 will be anchored by a general session encompassing all aspects of the digitalization of sports. This session will detail technologies such as VR, AR and AI and how they will impact your organization and the sporting events you organize or host. We are also pleased to announce that one of the leading law firms specializing in sports law, Bryan Cave, LLC, will be co-locating its highly sought-after Sports Law Symposium with the TEAMS 17 Conference & Expo. This symposium will focus on safe sport and, as such, is a must-attend adjunct to TEAMS for sports organizations concerned with this fast-developing area of legal liability for sports organizations. The symposium will include two educational sessions on the morning of Tuesday, October 31. For more information and to request an invitation to these important sessions, please call 310-954-2504. Admission to this symposium is easily worth the cost of your trip to TEAMS 17. We are proud that TEAMS 17 will serve as the location of the annual meeting of the National Congress of State Games for the second consecutive year. If youre not familiar with the NCSG and their dozens of affiliated organizations that host statewide, multisport events around the country, you will want to make sure to meet them at TEAMS 17 in Orlando. Both event-rights holders and destinations will have the opportunity to connect with this massive, grass-roots sports organization that attracts more than 500,000 participants each year nationwide. For more information on any of these exciting facets of TEAMS 17, (including details on exhibiting or sponsorship opportunities), please call 877-577-3700. TEAMS 17 will be the largest sports-specific business development opportunity of the year. You cant afford to miss it-call us today! This
