This January, second-year MBA students affiliated with the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center spent three fast-paced days in New York City meeting with high-level executives at some of the most influential companies and organizations in the world of sports. The annual event marks the final trip the cohort will take together as a group, and it is one that is recalled with enthusiasm by many alums. This year's roster included an insider's view of ESPN (led by two program alums); a session at sports and entertainment powerhouse IMG; and a visit to the headquarters of Bloomberg Sports. For at least one participant, as noted on the Warsaw Center's Facebook page, the trip's highlight was the opportunity to spend 45 minutes meeting with NBA commissioner David Stern. For others, like Bill Zachry, MBA '12, the experience drove home the strength and vitality of the center's unparalleled connections. "The Warsaw Center has an amazing network of alumni and contacts. This was powerfully reinforced numerous times as we met with many people who literally run many aspects of the industry."
