A great couple of days at SportsPro Madrid - lots of networking, interesting panels about the industry, and plenty of laughs (often with a beer in hand) between meetings. When it comes to content, authenticity remains the driving force. Solid strategies with bespoke content for each platform and the importance of content creators are two of the other hot topics shaping the present and future of the industry. It was fantastic to connect, build new relationships and enjoy some good times 🍻 😀 #SPMadrid24 #content #networking

What an incredible two days exhibiting at SportsPro Madrid! It was fantastic to see sports organizations open to innovative ways of reaching their fans by offering an interactive web app that’s easily accessible—fans can simply scan a QR code to get started. From engaging conversations and inspiring panel discussions to thought-provoking speeches, it was a privilege to connect with so many industry leaders and innovators on both the media and sports organization sides. A special highlight was the New Era Meet-Up for Women in Sports, a powerful reminder of the growing momentum for inclusivity and creativity in the industry. It was inspiring to see how emerging sports are breaking traditional methods to grow their fanbase, while broadcasters are prioritizing innovation to better monetize content. Thank you to SportsPro for an excellently organized event—you nailed it again! We’re excited about the conversations that started at our booth and look forward to seeing everyone again at SportsPro New York. 🚀 #SportsProMadrid #WomenInSports #InnovationInSports #FanEngagement #SportsBiz #Bannerse
