Having a bird’s-eye view of one of the largest loan defaults in sports history is as dramatic as World Series baseball. How can a franchise worth hundreds of millions of dollars collapse before the eyes of adoring fans and a championship-caliber team? From 2009—2010, the Texas Rangers defaulted on more than $500M in loans, ultimately filing for bankruptcy the same year they competed in the World Series. Kellie Fischer recounts her experience of what led to the financial downfall, how to juggle multiple constituents during a tumultuous time, and why a resilient and flexible team can deliver a grand slam.

If you are a CEO and would like to see if you qualify to attend this event, register online.
