VIDEO: MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference

The wait is over. The videos are here.

As was written by ILRSMC Vice-President Robbie Cohen last month:

On Friday, March 4th and Saturday, March 5th, seventeen club members, alumni and faculty traveled to Boston to participate in the 5th annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. Held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, the conference has grown in size each year (read about our commentary from last year's conference here). A record 1,500 attendees saw interactive panels and research presentations, as well as some new features. The subjects of the panels ranged from "The Coming War: Sports Labor Relations" to "Athlete Branding in the New Age" to "Hockey Analytics."
