We are actively working to have our public roster current with Keynote Speech titles, and Summaries. Some Speakers do not have a set title or summary for programs. Instead they customize for each. Other speakers only do moderated conversations. If you do not see content here, please contact us. We also have ample information off line that we can share. Or in the event we do not have the information, we can contact the speaker to provide and share.

About Keynote Speaker Rick Horrow
About Speaker Rick Horrow…
As CEO of Horrow Sports Ventures, Rick Horrow has been the architect of 100+ deals worth more than $20 billion in sports, performing arts, and other urban infrastructure projects.
Horrow pioneered the public/private partnership and infrastructure branding concepts that, to date, has enticed more than $4 billion in corporate funding to cities and development projects. Besides developing stadia and arenas, Horrow’s ability to put together many urban initiatives into one package for voter approval has resulted in the building of new performing arts and convention centers, schools, libraries, transit projects, and tourist destinations—most recently, a quality of life development package approved by El Paso voters.
A popular speaker, writer and commentator on the business, law, and politics of sports, he is nicknamed “The Sports Professor” because he has been Visiting Expert on sports law at The Harvard Law School, where he received a law degree alongside Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts, his roommate.

In February, 2019, Human Kinetics will publish How to Get Ahead in Sport Business: Inside Advice on the Path to Success, edited by Horrow and containing insights from more than 100 sports industry leaders.
In addition to providing regular sports business content to Bloomberg Radio and penning a weekly column for Yahoo! Finance, Horrow hosts a monthly national television show carried by Fox Sports regional networks, “The Power of Sports.” His “Keeping Score” podcast and blog are weekly keystones of Thomson Reuters’ sports business coverage; Horrow also files weekly segments for NBCSports Network.
