How our region’s sports boom is changing the content game
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2026 | 1:30–4:00 PM
Our region’s sports scene is expanding — new teams, new venues, and new fans watching from around the world. That growth is creating fresh opportunities and real challenges for the people who cover, market, and tell the stories behind the games. This session brings together voices from sports media, ownership, marketing, and content to explore what it takes to keep up with Nashville’s sports moment — and where it’s headed next.
