The Fantasy Basketball Event will focus on management, technology and marketing for the fantasy sports industry. According to an August 2006 Stats LLC report, fantasy sports is now a USD $1.65 billion industry. It is a meteoric rise from three years ago, when rotisserie leagues and fantasy baseball represented the majority of player interest. Today, fantasy football has become the dominant game of choice among consumers. With the emergence of fantasy NFL, CBS SportsLine, Fox Sports, ESPN and others offer real time player scoring, further increasing interest. Recently, the NBA began fantasy NBA basketball. Other fantasy sport leagues are emerging, such as: fantasy NASCAR, fantasy wrestling and fantasy sport fishing. In addition, a CNN report indicates that the average player spends about USD $500-600 each year on their league, plus an additional USD $150 on player and team information.

With major media and Fortune 1000 companies involved in the fantasy sports business, we have decided to design a Fantasy Basketball Event as a two day executive Trade Conference that will discuss the following topics:

 Fantasy Hockey

 Fantasy Soccer

 Mobile Technologies

 Licensing Issues

 Fantasy Golf

 Marketing (Traditional, Online and Mobile)

 Fantasy Baseketball

 Fantasy Baseball

 Player Information and Statistics

 Fantasy Car Racing

 Legal Developments

 Fantasy Football

 Back-end Software

 Other Fantasy Sports (such as Fantasy Wrestling, Fantasy Tennis, etc.)

This two day event will include speakers that are experts in the fantasy sports industry. It is a "no holds barred" event, meaning that questions asked can be as pointed as possible. The conference goal is to seek solutions to existing problems, not merely banter.

Exhibitors of new and existing products will be shown. Attendees are urged to evaluate and question each exhibitor in detail.

Attendees to this event include executives from:

 Sport League Associations

 Sports Information Services

 Radio Stations

 Marketing Companies

 Telecom and Mobile Companies

 Fantasy Sports Business

 Television

 Software and Database Companies

 Internet Website Companies

We look forward to seeing you at the event.
