Las Vegas is the fastest growing professional sports market in the U.S. In less than a decade, the city has become home to four major league sports teams, multiple minor league teams, and is home to UFC headquarters. And sports technology companies are taking note.
The region also has a strong higher education infrastructure, with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas laser focused on workforce development and sports innovation through the recently created Sports Innovation Institute. This summer, the Institute hosted SEICon in Las Vegas, the nation’s first sports, entertainment, and innovation conference, attracting participants from around the world.
