In association with The Players' Impact, we will enable the winner, the opportunity to pitch to a syndicated community of over 700+ athletes following the conference PLUS the wider One-Zero community of all speakers / attendees. Thanks to Tracy Deforge, Lonie Paxton and their team for collaborating on what is a truly unique opportunity. Also, to Jordan F. and Andrew Hippert for hosting the competition on the day. Ps. A great shot of my favourite session last year with Ronan Joyce, Director of Digital Innovation at Manchester United in full flow with Tom Ryan, VP of Strategy at the National Basketball Association (NBA) hosted by Jill Downey, Chief Sustainability & Sponsorship Officer at Core.
