March 6th - 7th, 2026 at Thomas M. Menino Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, MA

“Once endearingly dubbed ‘Dorkapalooza’ by Bill Simmons, the conference has established itself as one of the most interesting sports business events of the year… SSAC is known for its lively panel discussions, thought-provoking research competitions and jostling hallway networking, which ranges from top executives pitching ideas to each other to ambitious MBA students hustling those same execs for entry-level front-office jobs.”

"The Sloan conference runs [on a] Friday and Saturday [in early March] in Boston, having exploded from a one-day, on-campus affair in 2007 that attracted barely 200 people to the Super Bowl of Stats that will host a sold-out crowd of 2,500 people (plus a wait list) at a downtown convention center."

"There's something very special about the partnership that Jessica and Daryl have that continues to elevate this conference. They're two of the most beloved and networked people in the industry. So, I can tell you we all are very much committed to this… This is [a conference], I can tell you for myself and peers in similar positions at other companies, it's one we prioritize because it brings us real value.”

"[I owe] basically my entire post-MBA career [to my experience co-leading the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference]. I was just like, ‘wow, I just got here [to the NFL] and I can kind of see the impact the conference has had with my own eyes.’”
