10:30-11:00: Follow the Money: How Sports TV Tech Can Benefit from Sports Investors
We read the headlines everyday about massive investments that are fueling athlete performance technology, next-gen digital apps, sports leagues and franchises, and more. So, the question is is there a way for those who create broadcast technology to become part of those investment conversations? How can the traditional tech industry get closer to investors who believe that sports is an important catalyst for growth and technology?
