Drafting Entrepreneurs: Benzinga’s Big Play During the NFL Draft Week
In the heart of Motown, just before the city gets swarmed by linebacker-sized fans for the 2024 NFL Draft, Benzinga is crafting its own game plan. They’re not just heading to the sidelines; they’re creating their playbook to connect sports aficionados with the entrepreneurial spirit of Detroit.
When and Where to Get in the Game
For those eager to tackle this opportunity, mark your calendars for April 25 at 10 a.m. ET. Strategically coinciding with the NFL Draft commotion but sprinting on its independent track, the Benzinga headquarters are set to morph into the playing field for the Sports Business Titans event.
Luke Jacobi, the President of Benzinga with more flair than a flea-flicker, can barely contain his excitement. “Benzinga is proud to be headquartered in Detroit. From the moment it was announced Detroit would host the 2024 NFL Draft, we knew we had to host an event that would bring a unique Benzinga experience for the football fans coming to our doorstep,” stated Jacobi, “As a leader in financial media, we’re shining a spotlight on the crossroads of sports and entrepreneurship with our Sports Business Titans event.”
