“Thanks guys for letting me take in the conference. It was informative and opened up my eyes to a lot of issues that I don’t normally spend a whole lot of time thinking about. I especially liked Bill Polian. He’s one of those guys that I could listen to for hours. Great production guys! Congrats.”

“For the past two days I have attended this conference, and your team has done an incredible job! The panels have included high profile major and minor and amateur league sports representatives from all sports across North America.”

—Timothy A. Stoepker – Partner – Dickinson Wright PLLC – Grand Rapids, Michigan

“What a great conference that was! The feedback I received from students has been very positive and I certainly had a great time. I like the mix of formal (i.e. franchise valuations) and informal (i.e. Gord Miller ripping on Brian Burke )- it was great. One of my students went with one purpose: to meet Tom Wright; he was successful and now has a connection to follow-up about internship opportunities and possible employment in the future. I think that is one of the missions of the conference, connecting people, so great job!!!”
