The Vantage: A Private AI Workshop for Sports, Media, and Broadcast C-Suite

Collapse Six Months of
AI Decisions into Two Days

You're accountable for an AI strategy you were never trained to build. This room was built for leaders who can't afford to guess.

Closed-door. Invitation-only. Manhattan. April 28-29, 2026.

We walked in with opinions. We walked out with decisions.
COO // Sports Organization
Built by the team that turned live sports data into real-time revenue systems for the world's largest platforms.

The Vantage.
Not a conference. No expo floor.

One room. One question.

Where should AI make you money. And where should it save it.
Applications reviewed for fit. VP+ decision-makers only.
The Stakes

Rights.
Sponsorship.
Content.

Fan engagement.

Rights. Sponsorship. Content.
Fan engagement.

All of it under game-day pressure.

The higher the seat, the lonelier the call.

Sponsors want to see returns in real time. Not in a report three weeks after the game.
Every AI vendor in your inbox has a pitch. None of them carry the risk if it doesn't work. You do.
Build or buy. One wrong call locks you into the wrong platform for an entire season. And there's no clear framework to evaluate which is right.
Proprietary footage. Fan data. League IP. Player data. NIL. One careless rollout puts all of it at risk.
AI pilots look great in the demo. They never make it into actual operations. And when they stall, the tools don't take the heat from the board. You do.
Testimonials

What leaders said after two days in the room.

What leaders said after two days in the room.

The biggest impact was speed. What would have taken months of internal debate was resolved in days.

President // Digital Media Company

This created alignment across leadership, technology, and commercial teams, which is incredibly difficult in a league environment. We left with decisions everyone could actually commit to.

President // Professional Sports League

We automated five workflows we should have fixed a year ago. I didn't realize how much time we were bleeding until I saw what was possible. I finally get to focus on what I'm actually good at.

VP Operations // Sports Media Company

This gave us language and structure that actually held up in leadership and board discussions.

CFO // Media & Entertainment Company

If you're not prepared to make real decisions, don't attend. This will surface what your leadership team has been avoiding.

CRO // Media Company
VIP Dinner

Day 2 closes with the dinner table

every exec in sports wishes they could sit at.

Professional athletes. League executives. Founders who've built and exited. David Meltzer hosting.

Invitation-only

What you walk away with

You leave with what most companies spend a year trying to build.

AI systems designed around your operations. Content, sponsorship intelligence, fan engagement, and reporting. Built live in the room. Working before you land home.
A board-ready AI strategy tied to revenue. One you can defend.
Clarity on what to build, what to buy, and what to skip. Before the next season cycle locks you in.
A 90-day playbook your team can execute the week you're back.
30-day follow-up. If something stalled, we fix it together.
The cost of inaction

What you'd spend to figure this out on your own.

Hiring an AI Strategy Consultant:
$50,000 to $150,000 (and 3 to 6 months)
Hiring a Head of AI:
$300,000+/year (and 90 days before they're useful)
A failed pilot:
$100,000 to $500,000 (plus months of team time gone)
One wrong build-or-buy decision:
$250,000 to $1,000,000+ (locked in for a full season)

Two days. One room. Or another year of figuring it out.

 Game Plan

What two days look like.

Before you arrive.

The pre-game film. We study your operations so Day 1 starts sharp.

Day 01 : Build the roster.

Map where you stand. What's costing you the most. Build systems to solve those bottlenecks. Systems that work while you sleep.

Day 02 : Run the plays.

Pressure-test what you built on Day 1. What's realistic. What's not. Leave with a 90-day playbook your board signs off on. Day 2 closes with the VIP dinner.

We check in.

30 days later. If something stalled, we fix it together.

 How to get in

How we curate the room

Not everyone gets in. Here's how it works.

This room is not for everyone.

Built for you if
  • You carry live-event responsibility, rights value, or revenue performance.
  • Need an AI strategy before your next season cycle.
  • You've heard every AI pitch and still don't know what actually works.
Not for you if
  • You're looking for an intro to AI.
  • Can't commit two full days.
  • Aren't ready to make decisions in the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this workshop for?

C-Suite, presidents, SVPs, and senior operators at sports leagues, broadcasters, media companies, and rights holders. Leaders who need clarity on AI and a strategy they can execute immediately.

Is this a conference?

No. No keynotes, no expo hall, no audience. This is a closed-door working session. You're in the room to build, not to watch.

Is this technical?

Only where it needs to be. The focus is business impact, not jargon.

Will this help if we already have AI initiatives?

Absolutely. This experience is designed for informed leaders who already know AI is reshaping their business today. If your current roadmap lacks clarity, alignment, or measurable ROI, this experience will sharpen it and deliver immediate value.

Can I send someone from my team?

The person in the seat needs to be the person who can approve and execute what gets built in the room.

What's included when I attend?

Two full days of working sessions, systems built around your operations, a 90-day playbook, a board-ready strategy, 30-day follow-up support, access to operators at your level, meals, and welcome materials.

Is this workshop in person, virtual, or hybrid?

In person only. Two days in NYC. Small, curated room. No virtual seats.

How long is the workshop?

April 28 and 29, 2026. 8 AM to 5 PM each day.

Will there be networking?

Yes. Breakfasts, group lunches, breakouts, and an optional curated evening meetup.

Is the Executive Access VIP Dinner included in registration?

The VIP dinner is separate and invitation-only, extended based on fit and availability.

Is this worth flying in for?

Leaders who've been in this room say it saved them months. If your AI strategy is still in progress, two days here will move you further than six months on your own.

What's the cancellation policy?

All sales are final, but we understand plans change. If something comes up, reach out to our team and we'll do our best to find a solution.
