Beyond the Game:

Reimagining the Sports Fan Experience in 2020

As the sports world contends with a season in flux, one thing remains constant: fans are ready to engage. Yet without a live audience, how can sports teams deliver quality entertainment and keep consumers connected this year?

Join our next virtual event to hear how the Charlotte Hornets and Northeastern University are reimagining the fan experience, respectively, from a professional and collegiate sports perspective. Through innovative technology, such as VR and esports, the next generation of sports entertainment aims to keep fans engaged from any location.

Our discussion will cover:

  • The Charlotte Hornets’ 2K League—Hornets Venom GT
  • Building a 360-degree fan experience through virtual reality
  • Northeastern’s new Division 1 Esports Varsity Program
  • The future of competitive gaming
  • Other innovative opportunities for fan engagement

Featured Speakers:

  • Kate Hussmann, Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation, Hornets Sports and Entertainment
  • Jeff Konya, Director of Athletics and Recreation, Northeastern University
