SPEAKER APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2023 NATIONAL SPORTS FORUM ARE NOW OPEN!

***Applications are Due July 7th, 2023***


We are looking for sports business professionals to lead virtual breakout sessions at the 2023 Virtual Fall Summit on September 27th, 2023. Session topics focus on the NSF’s 5 pillars: Marketing, Sponsorship, Business Development, Ticket Sales, and Diversity & Inclusion. This is a unique opportunity for sports business professionals to develop their name and brand, as well as share their expertise in the industry as thought leaders. The National Sports Forum is one of the largest annual sports business conferences in North America, gathering league, team, agency, and property executives. The NSF’s mission is to bring together sports business professionals from all over to discuss the latest trends, revenue-generating ideas, and innovations that shape our industry as we push the boundaries in sports and entertainment. All session leaders selected will receive a complimentary badge to the 2023 Spring Summit!

WHY SHOULD YOU SPEAK AT THE NSF?

“It was an honor to speak at the NSF Virtual Summit about Breaking the Glass Ceiling in sports. The fact that NSF supports and highlights diversity, equity, and inclusion is important to me. 
Being a speaker at NSF had a big impact on the ECHL (League), Kalamazoo Wings (team), and myself (personal brand). I received a lot of support from others in the industry as well as the Kalamazoo Community as a whole. From this experience, I have been asked to speak on this topic in other places both locally and nationally. “

Toni Will, General Manager, Kalamazoo Wings

“My experience speaking at the NSF Virtual Summit was truly great. From the ability to idea share and talk about best practices in sports marketing with other industry professionals (and hopefuls!) to the personal networking with others on the planning committee, it was so beneficial.
I also enjoyed getting a chance to host a “happy hour” at the end of the day and was able to meet with students looking to break into the industry. I had those types of mentors early in my career and I love any opportunity to pay it forward.”

Laura Humphreys, Sr. Manager, Fan Development & Activation, Baltimore Ravens

“I love the NSF and always look forward to both the in-person and virtual Summits. Having the opportunity to speak and lead a breakout session at one was something I thoroughly enjoyed and can’t recommend enough. Keeping up with the issues that affect our industry on a daily basis while also meeting new industry professionals — who I now count as friends— are just some of the reasons why speaking at one of these sessions is something you should jump at.”

Rishi Lal, SDirector, Corporate Partnerships, CHL Properties
