Description:



EconSports Collage

From major leagues to the half-pipe, sports is a topic that touches everyone—and it seems like everyone is looking for ways to make new media money from it. Media companies and leagues have been on the forefront of adopting digital media technologies but the business of online sports ranges from community-based little league sites to real-time streaming video of major and minor sporting events.



This is just one part of our trifecta of conferences, taking place in the morning before EconWomen and the day after our second annual Future of Business Media conference.
