A GUIDE TO NSF

Brought to you by Advent

Welcome to the National Sports Forum.

This is a hot-spot for professionals in sports to come together for community, growth, and networking. Advent sponsors this event because the advancement of this industry, that happens within these walls, is a passion of ours. In our 6 years of sponsorship, we have seen attendees move from interns and grad students, to professionals representing major teams in this industry. All that to say…

We’ve been through this, we know how it works.

We wanted to share our big tips to take with you in the next few days:

  • Connect with someone who reminds you of who you want to be when you grow up.
  • Take notes – as many as you can.
  • Try to pick out 1-2 things to take back to homebase.
  • Don’t be afraid to connect with VPs, they were once in your shoes and value passing lessons learned.

Here are some examples of what you can expect to hear about:

Our last recommendation to you comes with a bit of encouragement:

Think of this conference as the start of something new—a chance to redefine your limits. Your professional path ahead might look uncertain at times, but remember: growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. 

Listen to the pros NSF works so hard to put in front of you. The challenges you face now are just stepping stones to something greater, the same as those before you. Embrace each moment with curiosity and courage, knowing that you’re here to make an impact. Trust in your ability to navigate it—you’ve got what it takes.

Seriously, you do.
