With most conferences in our sector being postponed we loved being involved in SBJ World Congress.
Our first virtual conference during the #SportHiatus, our man Jeff Volk was virtually there and followed all sessions for us, tweeting at relevant moments the most interesting parts.

A common sense of getting together to support the industry and leverage all learnings and innovations that are being crafted as we speak.

Just to be clear: it’s one week in and we already saw amazing efforts from all angles to bring our sports to fan in innovative ways.
Really proud of how the sports industry is reacting.

A silver lining of this weird moment is that many of the things we have been trying to push forward and at times have been seen as too advanced, are now the “new normal”.
The acceleration of new digital behaviors is permeating the fan community faster than at any time before this.

We need to be smart and capitalize on all this to create a better world of sports on the other end of the Sport Hiatus.
