Want to rub elbows with all of the movers and shakers of the fantasy industry? Pack your bags and head to Chicago! The Fantasy Sports Trade Association is hosting its 2009 Summer FSTA Business Conference and Research Symposium. The conference officially runs from June 18 and 19, but as always, will be preceded by a fantasy football experts draft the night before.
The FSTA conference agenda features a rundown of the latest industry statistics, a discussion on fantasy sports legal matters, and a few sessions focused on fantasy start-ups. The most interesting part of the conference agenda is the Elevator Pitch competition. New fantasy businesses are invited to compete for $20,000 of advertising time on Dish Network. Marketing dollars are always a little hard to come by for any fantasy company, so this competition offers a chance for one lucky company to get some much-needed air time.
To attend this conference you will have to fork over a registration fee–$449 for FSTA members, or $599 for non-FSTA members. While it is definitely a lot to pay, if you have not attended in the past, it is a solid investment to get familiar with the industry and is great opportunity to network for those looking to get into the fantasy sports industry.
