Sports bind us together in unimaginable ways. But with the shutdown of nearly all U.S. sporting activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, teams, fans, players, staff and others have been sidelined.

In this special GeekWire live virtual event, on Thursday, July 16, we’ll discuss how sports can safely return; what technologies will be deployed to ensure a seamless transition; and the economics of sports in the age of COVID-19. Registration is free, but space is limited so make sure to sign up here. A big thanks to sponsors Pure Storage and Davis Wright Tremaine for sponsoring this GeekWire event.

Our panelists include:

  • Pat Chun, Washington State University director of athletics.
  • Jennifer Cohen,  University of Washington director of athletics. 
  • Adrian Hanauer, majority owner of Seattle Sounders FC.
