In words of SLA President, Matthew Mitten, “this year’s conference will one of the SLA’s best ever in terms of interactive discussions among leading experts about the most important and current national and international sports law, business, and ethical issues”.
Additionally, SLA Conference Chair Robert A. Hacker stated: “What our conference offers, in addition to the great panels and exciting, often times cutting‐edge topics, is the most open, attendee‐friendly conference anywhere”. “Where else can a law student, a young lawyer or even a seasoned veteran of the business have access to the biggest players in the sports law world?.”
