MIT Conference

I'm at the Sports Business Conference at MIT. I'm in a career session right now with Len Perna and Steve Bergin. I'm looking forward to a session later today with Bill James and Rob Neyer on personnel decisions. And I'm sitting next to Sal Baxamusa of The Hardball Times.

Update: This is a session for business undergrads and grads. Len Perna suggests to start in tickets. He says it will be below your abilities, but it's a good way to generate revenue. Generating revenue gets you noticed.

Update: Steve Bergin says it's important to get a mentor at your job. Daryl Morey notes his mentors were Bill James and Billy Beane.

Update: A question about women in sports management leads Steve to remark that teams are looking for diversity and are creating opportunities for women. However, the demographic is going to skewed toward men.

Update: Lots of growth in digital content. Madison Square Garden just created a new executive position for digital content, according to Steve.
