Reimagining Fan Communication and Engagement

In the coming weeks, some of the biggest U.S. sports leagues will resume play. But none will open venues to fans at full capacity, and some will have no fans in the stands. For those with limited fans, how will operators communicate social distancing and other safety measures? For those with no fans, how does the approach to engagement change when your target is no longer physically there? We’ll examine the most pertinent issues, including innovative uses for in-venue signage and how chatbots and other communication tools will become more important than ever to keep fans safe and engaged.  

Join us today at 12:30 p.m. ET for a live conversation with:

  • Zachary Klima | Founder, CEO and Creator, WaitTime
  • Brett Unzicker | VP, Sales, Samsung Electronics America
  • Don White | CEO and Co-Founder, Satisfi Labs
  • Dan Kaufman | Managing Director, SportTechie (moderator)

The Way Back is a series of engaging and interactive conversations examining how tech and innovation will bring sports back (safely) during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Weekly sessions are live on Wednesdays, and free to register. On-demand access will be available to all registrants. Learn more and watch past sessions >>>
