Sports Management Worldwide Career Conference

Besides being a showcase for NFL Prospects to show scouts, GMs, and other NFL executives their strength, speed, and intelligence, the NFL Combine serves as a meeting place for almost all NFLPA certified agents.

The NFLPA’s agent regulations require agents to go to one seminar each year, and most agents choose the one during the Combine since many of them are out there anyway to provide support to NFL Draft Prospects they represent.

Now Sports Management Worldwide is adding another event to the week’s festivities.

What: The 2009 SMWW Sports Career Conference

When: Feb. 20 (starts at 1 p.m.) - Feb. 21

Where: Hyatt Regency, Downtown Indianapolis, IN, USA. See map.

Keynote Speaker: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
