Sports management is evolving rapidly. Artificial intelligence, digital business models and processes are becoming increasingly important in the traditionally analog world of sports. Success in the arena increasingly depends on performance beyond competition itself. As Program Curator, I aim to bring together diverse perspectives from academia and practice.
