The MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference is coming!

It is time, once again, for the Sloan MIT Sports Analytics Conference! The only requirement to attend is that you must be able to type the word “analytics” in one second or less. Just kidding. Here is the official web site:

The dates are March 2-3, in Boston of course.

It is a little pricey (if you are a current student anywhere, it is a steal), but if you are serious about your sports analytics, you want to stump for a job with a team, or you want to meet some truly interesting and sometimes brilliant personalities, you should seriously consider attending. There might even be an MGL sighting in the audience.

This is the Super Bowl of Sports Analytics conferences and is a veritable who’s who in the sports analysis and sports world.

Here are some of the speakers:

Bill James
Mark Cuban
Mark Shapiro
Jeff Luhnow
Darrel Morey
John Hollinger
Scott Boras
Bill Simmons
