I only attend one or two events per year and SEAT is always on my agenda. The caliber of attendees, both technology leaders and vendors, is outstanding. Every year the group that assembles to discuss current issues, emerging technology and trends, and supporting the growth of technology in sports and entertainment continues to astound me. The openness to share successes and failures along with the lessons learned is something I had never experienced prior to attending SEAT. This community of technology leaders has become not only my industry colleagues but almost like family. This is the group you can count on in a pinch.

SEAT Atlanta was the best event to date. Christine and her team have poured their hearts into creating an ideal environment for networking and learning. Not only does the team endeavor to deliver excellent technical content but also help elevate us as leaders. One of the first things that drops off of my personal agenda when things get busy is personal development. The leadership focused sessions have given me an opportunity to refocus on my learning while also gaining industry insights on technology. When you layer the excellent agenda and leadership workshops with unparalleled industry networking, it becomes a true win-win for me. I recommend SEAT to anyone who wants to ‘up their game’ in sports and entertainment technology. There is no better forum to gain insights in this industry.
