Our first Sports Business Leaders (SBL) event in New York City was nothing short of incredible! With over 125 attendees, the night was filled with energy, powerful networking, and meaningful conversations about the future of the sports business industry.
A Huge Thank You to Our NYC Leaders & Hosts
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the leadership of Noah Glantz and Justin M. Jacobson, who spearheaded the launch of our NYC chapter. Their dedication to growing the SBL community in New York set the stage for a night of game-changing connections.
A special thank you goes to Jaye Watts from Coexist Gaming, who hosted us in a fantastic venue that provided the perfect setting for collaboration, networking, and inspiration. Jaye’s hospitality and passion for bringing people together elevated the entire event experience.
