The Second Annual Summer Ball Conference (SBC 10) will be held in the Mecca of Summer Collegiate baseball — Madison, Wis., on November 6-8. The concept of the conference is a version of the Winter Baseball Meetings: providing teams with the knowledge and direction necessary to become elite in the summer collegiate ranks. The conference will take place at the Sheraton Madison Hotel and will include speaking by Vern Stenman, president of the Northwoods League’s Madison Mallards and Wisconsin Rapids Rafters, as well as breakout sessions, the Big Panel, SBC Awards Gala and a trade show.
Breakout Sessions will include Ticket Sales, Sponsorship, Media Relations, Promotions and Marketing, Non-Traditional Revenues, Gameday Experience, Community Relations, Web Site and Social Networking, Ballpark Usage and Improvements, NCAA Compliance, How to Sell a Summer Collegiate Team, Concessions, and Mascots.
Attendance will cost $189 for a representative of the organization and just $149 for any additional attendees of the same organization and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. (EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: Register before September 1 and receive 20 percent off the first attendee.) There is also a special room block with rates starting at only $94 per night available for conference attendees.
As with any conference the Trade Show is an integral part of this year’s event. On opening night there will be a Trade Show dinner and party, which will feature an open bar.
