Sports Lawyers Association Annual Conference

The SLA Annual Conference is this week (June 1-3) in Toronto, Canada. The brochure for the three-day event is attached. I am a member of SLA, and the Dean of our law school, Peter Goplerud, is a member of the SLA board of directors and will be presiding the event all day on Friday. All of the panelists are highly-respected in their fields, and the conference attracts the attendance of sports industry people nationwide from law firms, sports agencies, team front offices, professional leagues, players associations, collegiate athletics, and academia. The conference is highly educational, as well as a great networking forum. While I am unable to attend this year due to another commitment this week, I highly recommend the event for anyone interested in entering the sports law field (the conference even concludes with a panel entitled, "Breaking Into the Sports Industry").
