III. IBM Watson as a Game Changer in Sports and Entertainment Partnerships (11:45am - 12:30PM)
Data-driven decisions are always smart decisions, and thanks to cutting-edge technology properties, teams, and fans are poised to make smarter decisions than ever before. But what about the 'unstructured' data that does not fit into spreadsheets? Like video, written words, crowd noise, player gestures and facial expressions? IBM's Watson technology is helping sports and entertainment businesses solve some of their thorniest challenges, and in the process, is setting the stage to revolutionize the live event experiences for players, fans and broadcasters. David Gaspar, Managing Director of DDG, is working with IBM leading the charge to partner with the world's top events in their moments of cultural significance and put IBM's Watson at the center of this AI revolution. David will also share how AI is creating smarter, more responsive and personalized live event experiences and how this new frontier will ultimately help you spend your sports marketing dollars more wisely.
