The 4th annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference will be held on March 6, 2010 in Boston, MA. This year, the conference is sponsored by ESPN and, for the first time, there will be a sports analytics paper contest as part of the conference.
The goal of the Sports Analytics Conference is to provide a forum to discuss the important and increasing role of analytics in the sports industry. The conference brings together sports industry professionals (executives and leading researchers) and students interested in the changing dynamics of the sports industry. The conference is a unique opportunity that provides for learning, interacting, and networking amongst the sports analytics community. Previous conferences have sold out long in advance, hosting both students and industry professionals from around the world.
