What People are Saying About SMWW's Career Conferences...
| "The SMWW Sports Career Conference is definitely a who's who of the NFL. Don't miss it!"
Matt Moore, Miami Dolphins QB
"Let me bottom line this for you -- SMWW's conference offers prospective agents what no other agency is willing to share - experience and resources with a moral compass. Speakers are eager to provide a wealth of information and participants actually participate. This is not a conference you will find anywhere else. In my years as an agent and as an attorney I have yet to meet another person or agency willing to share this degree of expertise and that alone is priceless in the sports agent industry."
Bruce Butler, Attorney and Sports Agent
"The wealth of expertise you gathered across sports industries for all attendees in both panel and networking settings was truly amazing and exciting. I look forward to shaking and baking with the many sports leaders I met at the conference. I am already looking forward to the 2009 conference!"
Paul Martino
Global 500 corporate Director and ESPN Sports Ticker Gameday Statistician
"What a wonderful weekend I had at your Sports Career Conference! The conference was informative, enlightening, inspirational, and very educational. It was a classy event with some heavy hitters of the sports industry used as guest panelists. I cannot begin to share with you the great experience I had. Thank you is not enough, but it is well deserved. Most impressive was the number of young people who traveled from all over the country and from abroad to attend the conference. It speaks volumes about the reputation and quality of your organization."
Reggie Williams, Former MLB player:
Los Angeles Dodgers, and Cleveland Indians
"From my perspective it is a win-win situation. Students can only learn so much in the classroom. The value of spending two days in the same room with some of the top sport and athletic administrators in the United States is extremely valuable to these undergraduates. As one student said: "It (the conference) was worth every penny!"

Here is what one Sports Management Professor has to say about taking groups to SMWW Conferences: "SMWW Conferences are a must for those involved in sports management programs and who truly care about experiential education, establishing networking contacts with senior level executives, and exposing students to visionary thinkers in the field of sports management. Few people in the world can attract this level of talent and put them in one room to share their experiences. The SMWW Career Conference is the kind of student-focused activity that will raise retention rates, career placement rates, and student satisfaction rates."
