11 a.m. – 3 p.m. | Content Creators Workshop – Sponsored by Rotoworld

Our first ever workshop is a 4-hour event consisting of four 30-minute panels, plenty of time for lively discussions, networking and Q&A, as well as a special appearance by fantasy sports legend Matthew Berry. We encourage both aspiring content creators, veterans of the industry and everyone in between to attend and discuss the current state of play in the fantasy sports and sports betting content world, the latest trends, what the future may hold and more.

Panels include:

How to Get Started and Advance in the Industry with Joe Bryant – Football Guys, Jason Klabacha – Yahoo, Jeff Erickson – Rotowire, and Eliot Crist – Matthew Berry’s Fantasy Life.

Hear straight from the decision-makers about what they look for when hiring content creators, get advice on how to put your best foot forward when breaking into the industry, and get tips on how to keep advancing.

The Evolution of the Content Space with Andy Behrens – Yahoo, Liz Loza – ESPN, Denny Carter – Rotoworld, Adam Levitan – Establish the Run, and Jeff Ratcliffe – FTN Network and SiriusXM.

It really wasn’t that long ago that written content was the only game in town when it came to fantasy sports. Now content creators are challenged with having to create engaging content of all different lengths, mediums, tone and more. Hear from some of the biggest names in the industry on how to keep adapting and where they think things are heading next.

ROI (Return on Inclusion): How to Take Part in Reshaping the Fantasy and Gaming Industry with James Koh – DirecTV, Kendall Valenzuela – Fantasy Life, Dan Titus – Yahoo, Justin Henry – Bettor Sports Network, and more.

Hear from a diverse panel of content creators and their strategies for building advocacy, partnerships and personal brands within the fantasy and betting community. Our panel will discuss their lessons learned and paths to monetization as freelance or full-time content creators.

The Role of Social Media in Content with Scott Fish – Scott Fish Bowl/Fantasy Cares, Lawrence Jackson – Rotoworld, Howard Bender – Fantasy Alarm, Matt Deutsch – Bettor Sports Network, and Kate Magdziuk – Gaming Society.

Social media can be a major tool in promoting content and building a brand, but it can also lead to severe consequences if not treated responsibly. Hear from our panelists on how to unlock the positives of social media, traps to avoid and more.

Bringing Fantasy Sports and Sports Betting to Major Network Broadcasts with the legendary Matthew Berry

Matthew Berry made a major splash in our industry immediately after joining NBC Sports as Football Night in America featured fantasy sports and sports betting conversations for the first time during the Hall of Fame Game in August. The Hall of Famer talks with his Fantasy Football Happy Hour co-host Jay Croucher about the rise of fantasy sports and sports betting and how he thinks things will continue to evolve from a major broadcast network perspective.
