5 Reasons To Attend "Sports Media Chalk Talk"
- Networking:
When we attended this last year, we were able to get an immense amount of networking. From the spaces legend himself, Chris Conner, to the Youtube Thumbnail expert in Jake Madison. If you were wondering if we thought it would be worth it again, we would say YES. The event is bigger, and the excitement around this team is growing too. It is absolutely worth a visit just for networking with the addition of Marc J. Spears alone. - Joel and AD:
Joel Meyers and Antonio Daniels are one of one. If I am a homer about anything, it is that we have the best broadcast team. Joel and AD paired with Marc should be that much better. They do not miss, and as a fan they respect your questions and concerns about the teams on socials and even more so at this event. They are truly a "for the fans" type of broadcast team and the chance to meet and greet and ask them any burning questions is a huge win for the fans. - Surprise Appearances:
I don't know if anyone not already mentioned is attending, but the great thing about an event like this is you NEVER know who may wind up passing by. The event was well put together last year, and as it continues to grow, the names will only grow who attend. Use these early chances to make those personable relationships with people you don't expect to meet. - Happy Hour/Early Entry:
I mean, I don't have to say much about this but if you enjoy a drink or two, the Pels are putting together a "Happy Hour" that last 1.5 hours. If that isn't a win I don't know what is. To make it sweeter, the event is prior to general admission entrance. The feeling like a celebrity experience as you smile and wave to the folks in the other line is a nice little chef's kiss start. - The Smoothie King Center:
If you have been to the Smoothie King Center this is one you might already know, but the Blender seems to just get better. Even a small change like Wild Wayne being the Blender's voice makes a huge impact in the experience being that much closer to feeling like "the city". I cannot stress how great the Blender is for a game and how hard it is to have a bad time here. I have yet to sit anywhere in the arena and feel like I have a bad viewing angle for the game. The hype around this team continues to grow, so I am excited that even more people will get to experience events like this in an arena as nice and well designed as the Smoothie King Center.
