Sports Executive Leadership Conference
The Meeting of the Great Minds in Sports

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT SELC


"The speakers are always outstanding and it is very cool to see these folks in action after the session (Ernie Johnson, Robert Gates, Craig Sager, etc).  I even had a chance to work with one of your speakers (Andy Razeghi) on an innovation project. These events are an awesome networking opportunity, the sessions have valuable and practical information and I know that everyone has a great time.  I just want you to know that I really appreciate the time that you and your team at General Sports put in to make these events successful." 

Jamey Rootes, President of Business Operations
Houston Texans

"The General Sports crew did it again with a superlative series of events. You guys constantly over deliver on quality, class, professionalism, dynamite speaker lineup, and attention to detail with a whole lot of fun thrown in for good measure. I have attended meetings and conferences that were good, bad, and mostly ugly. You and your team have crafted the Mercedes of meetings. The quality, class, professionalism and obvious attention to detail are the new standards in the sports industry."

Andy Dolich, COO
San Francisco 49ers

"This is the single best conference that I attend every year. You are making contacts and friendships that will help you grow without even knowing it. And the speakers are always educational with a message that illuminates a truth that will make you better."

Tom Wilson, President
Palace Sports and Entertainment

"Congratulations on another successful Sports Executive Leadership Conference. The General Sessions were thought provoking and informative; the networking activities were first rate and the setting was spectacular. You have succeeded in creating a must attend event for our industry."

Ed Horne, President
NHL Enterprises

"The conference is exceptional. The speakers are first rate and the access to the leaders in the sports industry is outstanding. I would highly recommend the conference to anyone."

Jim Scherr, Chief Executive Officer
United States Olympic Committee

"It was enlightening to interact with executives from other sports and hear their perspective of the issues affecting their teams and leagues. I obtained a great deal of information and knowledge from the interaction. I hope my schedule will allow me to attend again next year."

Mark Richardson, President
Carolina Panthers

"Many thanks and congratulations for the conference at the Broadmoor. Mary and I really enjoyed ourselves. You could not have been more attentive, nor the other participants more kind to us, despite our being from another sports environment. I learned a great deal from those present which, after all, is a principal benefit of these kinds of occasions."

Brian Quinn, CBE, Chairman
Celtic Football Club

"Apart from a high quality venue, excellent organization and the ability to network with people from other sports, it was particularly stimulating to compare method and approach with the other side of the Atlantic."

David Sheepshanks, Chairman
Ipswich Town Football Club

"The feeling I got from the first conference was that the type of people that attended are "information monsters" like myself. Great surroundings combined with a unique opportunity to gain meaningful knowledge from the sports and entertainment industry's elite is a tremendous selling feature of the conference."

Nick Sakiewicz, CEO, FC Pennsylvania

"As usual, General Sports did an outstanding job. We are proud to be a sponsor – this is a very high caliber group and we are pleased to continue to build our relationships with the best in the business. GSE did another superb job – you are world champions! The sessions are very informative and thought-provoking, and the opportunities to network are especially good."

Denis Clive Braham, Chair, Sports Business and Public Venues
Winstead, Sechrest & Minick, P.C.

"Just wanted to take another opportunity to thank you and the great General Sports staff for the really first-rate conference at the Broadmoor.  David had told me that it was a great event, but perhaps he was understating its caliber.  From the incomparable site... to the great food...to the inspirational speakers... to the wonderful gifts....and most importantly, for the ever-present smiles of the GSE staff, it was a truly memorable experience.  Thanks not only for your vision, but also for your efforts in making this a world-class event."

Peter Englehart, Falconhead Capital

"You should feel good to know that our commitment to your conference is by far the single largest sponsorship commitment we will make this year. In fact, we'll be dropping other long-standing programs to fit this into our budget. Obviously, we feel very good about what you've got going."

Bob White
Vice President
HOK Sport + Venue + Event

"The SELC in Colorado was a great experience for us. You have hit on the perfect combination of environment, content, and participants. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to be among this group of leaders from our industry. We feel great about having participated in the charity effort as well. Returning home, we knew we had really been a part of something special."

Mark Foster, General Manager, Diamond Vision Systems
Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc.

"Just wanted to drop you a note on the wonderful conference you hosted at the Broadmoor. The speakers were not only informative, but the variety of topics discussed caused you to step back and think about your current business model. The informative side of the conference was nicely balanced with the various functions to meet with old friends, network with new acquaintances, and to relax in a wonderful setting. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and commend you and your staff on a job well done."

William R. Prescott
Chief Financial Officer
Jacksonville Jaguars

"One word comes to mind: phenomenal! I truly enjoyed attending the conference this past weekend. From the speakers to the other attendees to the first class treatment, it could not have been any better. Thank you for one of the best conferences I have ever attended."

Joie Chitwood, President
