Next Thursday and Friday, student athletes, fans, and brands will come together in Charlotte for the second annual Athletecon. The conference was founded by Sam Green, an NIL brand builder who is also a former NBA dancer and ESPN editor.
One of the opportunities that athletes will have at the convention is the chance to record a professionally produced podcast. Sam Green said in a video on Instagram, “One of the things I’m most excited for about AthleteCon 2.0 would be the podcast studio. Thank you to EVRYBDY Studios which is my home studio here where I record all of my content. They’re setting up a professional grade podcast studio for these athletes to create content with each other…to create content for brands. For brands to get professionally produced content from athletes live and in person.”
Livvy Dunne said about the convention, “AthleteCon is the only NIL event where athletes receive hands-on training on the latest technology to build their personal brand. I'm excited to announce the Livvy Fund's partnership.”
