Encore: Score! The New World of Technology for Sports

The buzz: Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is (Vince Lombardi). Welcome to our new series about SAP’s sponsorship-specific sports stories from the NHL, NBA, Extreme Sailing, WTA, and more. We’ll examine the history of Sports from wrestling in ancient Mesopotamia and then cover modern technology advancements in Instant Replay, Virtual Reality, Robotics, and Smart Data that impact decision-making, fan-consumption, and player performance. Is there a downside to the Sports upside? The experts speak. Nic Smith, SAP: “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career … I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed” (Michael Jordan). Fred Samson, SAP: “Always enter like a kitten and leave like a lion. But NEVER enter like a lion and leave like a kitten. Always be humble” (Carlson Gracie). Ryan Somers, SAP: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work” (Thomas Edison). Join us for Score! The New World of Technology for Sports.
