The vibrant city of Miami is set to welcome back SPORTEL, the world's leading

market and conference summit for the sports media and tech industry, from April 1-2 at the prestigious JW Marriott Miami. This exclusive gathering will invite

participants to connect under the stunning backdrop of the cosmopolitan sunshine state and gateway for sports business in the Americas.

Hear more on where things are heading from our executive line up of Paramount/Pluto TV (Eduardo Arias), FOX Deportes (Angelina Losada), YouTube (Victor Machado) and Octagon (William Mao).

Closing the day, will be the first of two sessions for the ever popular Pitch Perfect which continues to gain traction in popularity, providing a fantastic showcase for emerging companies new to SPORTEL who have a creative or innovative solution, to present in this quick-fire session.
