“They’re Number One” Conference

“They’re Number One”

The Live Event Experience: Driving Loyalty and Revenue through Fan Engagement

photoshoot.2

The “They’re Number One” Sports Marketing Conference title was inspired by the iconic image of a fan holding up their forefinger and chanting enthusiastically, “We’re number one!” No matter their team’s ranking, a true fan will chant “We’re Number One!” The truth is, the team lives and dies by their fans’ loyalty, passion and funding. From the perspective of the sports franchise…”They’re number one!”
