Join us for a moderated panel of experts in the sports investing arena as they discuss the intersection of finance and professional sports, media and entertainment. Over the last decade-plus, Wall Street has penetrated the professional sports/media ecosystem, acquiring meaningful ownership in clubs, franchises, leagues and rights deals. This trend has spiked team valuations and permanently changed the landscape of professional sports ownership and investment. Our panelists will provide insight to investors across the spectrum, from institutional to retail, in this exciting, high-profile investment opportunity. There will be a door prize—a mixed reality blockchain sports collectible—donated by Baller Mixed Reality.
The program will be hosted by MoAF President & CEO David Cowen, as well as co-sponsors Chris Perry, president of Broadridge Financial Solutions, and Jake Zahnow, co-founder & CFO of Bright Path Sports Partners. The panel—moderated by CNBC Senior Markets Correspondent Bob Pisani—will include Charles Baker, co-chair of Sidley Austin LLP’s Entertainment, Sports and Media industry group; Phillip Ciano, co-founder and managing partner of Bright Path Sports Partners and co-owner of Ipswich Town FC; and Salvatore Galatioto, president of Galatioto Sports Partners.
Program will be followed by a cocktail reception at 7:15pm. Admission is FREE, but advance registration is required. Seating is limited.
*Complimentary on-site parking is available at Champion Parking 57 (validation required).
