As the sports business field continues to grow, its career options increasingly include those connected to sports wagering. Last week, the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan hosted its third Michigan Sports Tech Conference, a virtual event that brought together multiple industry experts and leaders covering a variety of subjects.
“This is my first year helping out with the conference, and last year was the first time we touched on the topic of sports gambling,” said Samir Syed, one of the conference panel coordinators. “It’s something that has become more and more relevant as time has gone on and makes sense at this intersection of sports and technology we’re working with, and lends itself easily to the rest of the point of what the conference is.”
