Take a look inside the room where sports innovation is happening right now. 🏀

During Final Four Weekend, the March Madness Innovation Showcase presented by AT&T & Sports Tech HQ brought together founders, investors, and operators for an afternoon of real conversation, fresh ideas, and meaningful connection.

From unpacking where capital is flowing across the industry and how the modern athletic department continues to evolve, to hearing directly from founders building and scaling the next generation of sports technology, the Showcase offered a clear view into where the industry is headed.
