What to expect
Industry Spotlight on Sports and Technology is an in-person evening from UpSurge Baltimore on how technology and science are changing sports, from professional stadiums to youth training fields. The centerpiece is a fireside chat with Sig Mejdal, vice president and assistant general manager of the Baltimore Orioles, and Peter Stournaras of T. Rowe Price. Mejdal is known as a sports analytics expert, and the organizers say he will talk about how his mechanical engineering training and his time at NASA shaped his Major League Baseball analytics career, plus what recent innovations mean for the future of the sport.
Who should attend
This one suits founders building in sports technology, analytics, wearables, performance data or fan engagement, and anyone who wants to see how a data-driven front office thinks. If you are new to Baltimore's startup scene, it is also a chance to meet the people around UpSurge Baltimore and the Greater Baltimore Committee in one room.
