The Business of Sports: How Data Creates Championship Organizations

A must-see live session detailing how data-driven insights built the Golden State Warriors into a powerhouse on and off the court.

In the past decade, the Golden State Warriors have been one of the NBA’s best on the court – and off the court. The decision to become data-driven drove the Warriors into a powerhouse organization within the multi-billion dollar pro sports industry.

How did the Warriors achieve this? By integrating cloud data across all departments: media, IT, finance, human resources, sales and marketing, and more.

Join us for a virtual Executive Briefing featuring Rick Welts, Warriors President and COO, to learn how data built the Warriors into a championship-caliber operation – and how that success provided the resources for success on the court.
