2026 Gondola Sports Summit! First time attending, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to volunteer with an amazing Gondola crew while representing one of the National Lacrosse League Teams— the next major league by myself. It was incredible learning what others across the industry are doing and connecting with so many great people. From meeting people I’ve interviewed before to finally putting faces to names I’ve only seen online, this experience meant a lot. Most importantly, I definitely overcame my fear of networking and got to attend my first sports conference!
