The countdown has started to the Sports Technology Awards which take place in just two weeks. Dubbed ‘the Oscars of the Sports Technology world’, the shortlist includes brands such as BBC, Hawkeye, NASCAR, the Rugby World Cup, NBA and ASICS as well as some of the most exciting emerging businesses in the industry.
Taking place on 15 April at The Brewery in London EC1, the event will see hundreds of decision makers from sport, representing more than 150 leading brands come together to celebrate the most innovative and exciting technology in sport today.
Here are three reasons why you should attend…
- See What Influences Tomorrow’s Sport, Today Sport tech changes are rapid so people serious about being – and remaining – current in the sector can come to the awards and, in just one afternoon, understand the technology that has people talking.
- Meaningful Conversations with Decision Makers The awards don’t have VIP rooms or exclusive areas, everyone who attends can – and should – be speaking with each other. There’s also the opportunity to network at the pre-lunch drinks and the after party, which is held on-site immediately after the awards.
- Connect with Your Network – and Expand It The awards provide a great opportunity to revisit and expand your network. With 53% of attendees at C-Level or higher, if you’re senior in sports, you should be there.
Tickets are still available to attend the event – although they are in short supply. If you are interested in attending, please get in touch with the awards office on 020 3150 2083 or viaYasmin@sportstechnologyawards.com.
