Sports Media Summit in Chicago 2025
What an amazing program. It was a wonderful reminder of the number of good people in the radio business. Great job.
It was such a pleasure catching up with friends and having an opportunity to join hands and elevate the platform. Thank you so much for including us. The two days were wonderful.
Thank you for both the initiative you've taken in bringing sports content leaders together every year and for inviting me to participate. It's a service you're doing for both experienced leaders and those looking to grow in our industry.
Thank you for another amazing year. From all of the interaction amongst all of us and our peers to the level of guests you have booked, the Summit is truly a must attend for anyone in our industry. Thanks again for everything!
What an incredible two days. What Jason has done for our industry, specifically the sports format is nothing short of heroic. This was a tremendous event, Thanks for all you do!
Wonderful event! Compelling, smart, interesting, entertaining, well attended and room to grow. The format continues to develop. Tremendous opportunity ahead. Thank you for inviting me.
A great collection of minds and information to keep things moving forward. It was great to see everyone in the same place discussing ways to improve the business. That doesn't happen without BSM putting it all together. Well done.
I was really impressed with the way Jason ran the conference. He has built something really impressive for our business. Congratulations on an excellent event!
Hats off to Jason and the BSM team for growing the Summit. What a lineup of key talent, executives, and programmers from around the country. All in all, it was a tremendous event and a great learning opportunity for all involved. Thanks for putting all of your blood, sweat, and tears into it.
It was a pleasure attending such an incredibly productive event. Really enjoyed the experience and being a part of it. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into bringing together the format's best and planning the whole show. Thanks for all you do!
The time in LA at the conference was well spent. BSM did an excellent job. The content, thought-provoking new ideas, and social events around the summit. It all flowed nicely.
The conference was amazing. I really appreciate the invitation. I have a staff meeting to discuss some new ideas this week.
It was a fantastic couple of days. Any time you can get that many smart people into a room, good things are going to happen. Well done by JB and the BSM team.
Thanks for inviting me to be a part of the Summit! Your team did fantastic work. The content was informing and entertaining and it was great to see everyone again.
Thanks for putting on such a great conference! As a first-time attendee, I was very impressed with the production & quality, plus the time BSM put into it. It was a great experience.
What a wonderful job putting this event on by JB and his team. It was big time! It's impressive to see what you have built. The Summit has seen an amazing evolution from year #1. As always, thank you for having me and including me in the presentation.
I really enjoyed the BSM Summit. Not only was it educational and enjoyable, but it was enlightening for me to see the business that you’ve built. You’ve done a spectacular job of building your brand and I respect and admire what you’re doing and how you’re doing it.
What an amazing few days. I learned more in 48 hours in terms or research, digital and structure than I had learned in a decade. I can only imagine the time and effort that went into putting this together. I can't tell you how uplifting it is to know the emphasis and effort companies are still putting into the format.
The sports radio industry is lucky to have guys like Jason in it. His passion for the format rubs off on all of us. I'm already looking forward to next year's Summit!
I inked my first major market station thanks to a connection made at the BSM Summit. Thanks so much. What a valuable experience.
I was BLOWN AWAY by the summit. Initially I felt like I didn't belong among so many high level PD's, executives and talent but then I realized the event was for people most passionate about our format and future. GREAT job.
Thank you to the BSM team for putting on another great Summit for all of us to network and learn from one another. It truly is the best of the conferences available to attend for the industry.
