The Way Back: A Pandemic Shift in the Future of Youth Sports - Part Two

About this event

Tuesday, January 19 | 12:00 P.M. ET

From the elite levels on down, the sports industry continues to navigate a tenuous return to activity. The success of the pro and college leagues depend on youth sports to foster the next generation of athletes. More than ever, technology, innovation and a newfound spirit of collaboration are at the forefront of youth sports—especially when it comes to logistics and operations.

In this sequel to one of our more popular episodes of 2020, we’ll further examine how the pandemic is affecting sports at the grassroots level and what it means for the industry at large.

Webinar Speakers

Dave Dupont is the Founder and CEO of TeamSnap, the household name in integrated sports management, Dave wears many hats – from being the boss to sweeping the floors, and everything in between. Since forming the company he has managed three successful investment rounds, secured strategic partnerships and overseen impressive growth. Nearly 24 million administrators, coaches, players and parents now rely on TeamSnap to manage their sports lives. When Dave is not focused on day-to-day and long-term initiatives for TeamSnap, he is a regular presenter and mentor at tech and innovation summits across Colorado and the TLC Sports Summit, a conference he co-founded which shares the latest industry innovations in youth sports.

Tom Farrey leads the Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program, which convenes leaders, facilitates dialogue, and inspires solutions that help sports serve the public interest. He is also a journalist whose work on ESPN won the 2014 Alfred I. duPont/Columbia University Award, the 2013 Edward R. Murrow Award, and two Emmy Awards. He was the first ESPN reporter to deliver cross-platform enterprise reports, and before that was deputy editor at the startup that would create ESPN.com.
