Learfield, the media and technology company powering college athletics, is now accepting applications for individuals interested in attending the 10th annual Learfield EDGE Academy. Applicants can apply online here.
Held in partnership with the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association (MOAA), this year’s hybrid EDGE academy will provide a variety of engagement and networking opportunities with industry leaders across collegiate athletics.
If you are interested in building and supporting college athletic solutions that include data and digital platforms, multimedia rights representation, brand management and licensing, broadcasting and content, and ticketing, to name a few, then this could be the program for you.
The 2024 hybrid Learfield EDGE Academy will host a stellar lineup of guest speakers representing intercollegiate athletics, corporate sponsors, industry influencers, and business partners who will provide insights and access into the business side of the collegiate sports industry. There will be an opportunity for this year’s participants to attend an in-person campus visit at one of Learfield’s partner schools, along with invitations to attend several Learfield hosted events throughout the year.
