Any successful business must have multiple components working in harmony to produce results. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in the world of professional sports.  Fans measure the results of our sports teams by evaluating the won/loss columns. But professional sports teams are much more than just the players we watch. Just like any business, they must be financially sound, and run an operation that shares the same challenges we face every day including; sales, talent evaluation, logistics planning, press relations, community affairs, and much more.  They are there under the pressure of public scrutiny that few businesses have to deal with on a consistent basis. This session provides the opportunity for us to learn from one of the best sports organizations in the country, the Philadelphia Phillies, and one of sport’s most successful executives, Mr. Bill Giles.

HOST: ADPI - Advanced Deployment Personnel & Integration

EVENT SCHEDULE:
6 - 6:30 pm - Mingling
6:30 pm - 7:30 pm - Presentation
