How to Remain Relevant in Today’s Digital Age

Friday, March 13
12:30PM - 1:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Ballroom D
Austin Convention Center

Whether it’s watching the game, catching highlights or sharing updates with friends, more of the sports experience is happening on mobile devices. While consumers are more enthralled with the content on their devices, how can one remain relevant in today’s digital age? Charles Barkley, one of the biggest names in sports, remains relevant with his entertaining wit, complete candor and feel good persona as a studio analyst for TNT’s Inside the NBA and CBS and Turner’s NCAA Division I Men’s Championship coverage. Instead of sharing his thoughts about a team or a player on social, he gains our attention on TV through open and honest basketball analysis and personal anecdotes. While plugged-in and aware of the rapidly growing digital and mobile revolution,he chooses to attract fans through the larger screen rather than the small. Barkley and Deitsch will discuss how one can balance today’s ever-changing digital landscape and still maintain relevancy with traditional platforms.
