Below are testimonials from people who attended the 2018 Sports PR Summit at The Players’ Tribune in New York City (gathered by students from Montclair State University’s School of Communications and Media):

“The Sports PR Summit here at The Players’ Tribune is one of the highlights of the year. Professionally and personally, I look forward to the panelists, the featured speakers, and the networking opportunity that’s available on such a concise footprint.” – Gina Lehe, Senior Director of Communications and Brand Management of College Football Playoff

“Today’s event is fantastic. It’s my third year attending and it’s the only one that I have found within the industry that I work in that really gets execs into a private room in which people can speak candidly. And I can tell you, Brian Berger and the Sports PR Summit does a fantastic job bringing everyone together.” – Brian Poliakoff, Associate Communications Director of Twitter

“Being able to hear from the side of the people who the PR folks are serving, as well as, the PR folks themselves and how they’re approaching social media and all aspects of the whole public relations environment and just how its coalesced and involves so much more than just PR is really cool.” – Brooks Thomas, Social Business Advisor at Southwest Airlines

“It’s good to have a safe space and an open environment where both sides can learn from each other to figure out ways that they can just further and blossom their relationships. And I think it helps to hear each other’s perspectives, to understand what’s important to them and also what’s important to us and figure out what that common ground is.” – Jemele Hill, ESPN’s The Undefeated.

“Here at the Sports PR Summit at the Players’ Tribune the most important thing we can do is learn from all of the professionals that are here. We can never stop learning about all of the things that we don’t know and it helps us make ourselves better both personally and professionally.” – Joe Favorito, Sr. Strategic Communications Consultant
