Expressions like “Teamwork makes the dream work,” “It takes a village,” and “There’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’” highlight the collective effort required to achieve success. Few understand the power of teamwork better than sports team owners, executives, and athletes striving for success on and off the field while balancing the demands of off-field innovation and growth. This panel will explore how leaders shape the $500+ billion global sports economy through championship-building, profitability, and community impact. Panelists will discuss media rights, sponsorships, fan engagement, immersive technology, and player development, as well as the growing global influence of sports as a unifying social force and economic driver.
