Connecting sports business executives around the world

#SPORTSBIZZOOM CALLS


At Sports Geek our goal is to connect sports, fans & sponsors.

Right now as an industry we need to stay connected.

Each week in 2020 we hosted twice weekly Zoom calls to share problems & solutions to help us all.

CAN'T ATTEND?

As games start to return and in some lucky parts of the world fans return to stadiums the sports business industry is getting back to work. This is AWESOME!

The downside is we have been getting people apologising as they can't attend #SportsBizZoom calls they would like to due to being too busy at work.

From July 28 we will be offering replays of both calls each week exclusively to our Sports Geek Patreon subscribers. If you miss a session due to work (or timezone doesn't work for you) you'll be able to watch them back via Sports Geek Patreon.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

EVERYONE has been affected by COVID-19.

Sports industry is hurting.

But we will fight back.

The fans will return to the stands.

We are in this together and we will be ready.
