CARMEL, Calif.--(BW SportsWire)--Nov. 6, 1998--The new economics
of sports business in the digital age -- fueling the merger of real
estate, media, merchandising and advertisers -- will be a hot topic at
Paul Kagan's Sports Values conference, Wednesday and Thursday,
November 11-12, at The Park Lane Hotel in New York City.
Designed to bring pro analysis to pro sports, this timely
conference will field an all-star lineup of more than 30 top league
officials, player reps, agents and team and media executives as well
as sports marketers and financiers to discuss what impact
record-setting trends in television rights fees, revenue sharing,
stadium and player costs are having on league and team values and what
role advertising, marketing/promotion and new media will play in the
future of sports.
The meeting will also address league expansion and operation, new
league launches, franchise ownership and deals, stadium and arena
financing, raising capital and the changing face of local/regional
media sports.
