Seasoned professional sports information technology executive with a passion for out of the box solutions to complex challenges.

Tod is a #sportsbiz lifer having worked in NBA, NHL and now in NFL at Minnesota Vikings. Tod is one smart guy when it comes to sports and stadium technology and I'm not just saying that because he could crush me like a grape (ok maybe a little).

Russell Scibietti - @rscibetti

#SportsBiz Professional (VP Product Strategy, @KOREsoftware, former @NYJets/@NHLFlyers) & Blogger (http://thebusinessofsports.com ).

How can I leave out the guy who was the first to tweet #sportsbiz hashtag! Russell is terrific sports business connector running #SBWeek and sharing his vast knowledge at conferences, podcasts and via Twitter.

Troy Kirby - @SportsTao

Consultant, podcaster & the most hated man in montana

Troy is a podcasting machine with the Tao of Sports, I'm serious I don't know how he has produced the volume of quality podcast interviews over the last few years. But Troy isn't a one trick pony that can ask questions on a podcast, he knows ticketing. If you want to solve ticketing problem Troy is who I would call.
