Panel Discussion: Exploring Teamwork Beyond the Field
Host: Tristan Valencia
Info: Thought Process Co-Founder Tristan Valencia will moderate, Pitch To Pitch, a cross industry, cross discipline panel discussion designed to jumpstart conversations and challenge assumptions. Global sporting events don’t leave room for “figure it out later.” At Pitch to Pitch, we’re unpacking what it really takes to execute flawless brand activations and high stakes sports on the world stage. From creative technological design and structural engineering to supply chains and tariffs, we’ll dig into the strategic planning needed to deliver without compromise. Equally important, we’ll also explore how authentic cultural storytelling builds fan loyalty that lasts long after the final whistle. It’s not just about showing up big; it’s about showing up right.
