“It’s rare to be in a beautiful setting like this with very, very smart people who are facing the same challenges I am facing and excited about a lot of the things we are excited about in the sports industry, so I feel very fortunate to get to be here and it’s been a great time.”

Christa Stout, EVP, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer Portland Trailblazers

“It has just been absolutely fantastic, I really value the intimate setting the fact that you have a more curated crowd, that really relents for deeper and more thoughtful discussions. A lot of the informal relationship building activities have been very, very valuable.”

Sukemasa Kabayama, Co-Founder and CEO Uplift Labs

“SBJ does a really great job of blending time discussing, time listening to content, but also downtime to really reflect and just be human.”
