Michael Gliedman, NBA: “A man of my mind can do anything” (Steely Dan, Don’t Take Me Alive, 1976). Marcus Baur, Sailing Team Germany: “We ain’t seen nothing yet” (Andrew McAfee, TEDxBoston, 2012). Jen Cohen Crompton, Something Creative: “If the stadium simply becomes a stage, the game will have lost a vital element. I believe this is the next great issue—how to make games important to people when they can sit in their living room?” (Marc Ganis, SportsCorp). Steve Peck, SAP: “Life is like a dogsled race. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.” (Lewis Grizzard, writer/humorist). Join us for Sports Go High-Tech: Score!
