Last week, local Seattle tech site Geekwire hosted its second annual Sports Tech Summit, which started last year with the assistance of Sounders majority owner Adrian Hanauer. Last year, Hanauer was on a panel with a couple other franchise owners, and MLS commissioner Don Garber held a ‘fireside chat.’ This year, the only representative from the Sounders (aside from Hanauer, who gave opening remarks) was High Performance Director Dave Tenney, who was on a panel with Sportsradar US deputy president Dr. Laila Mintas called “The Future of Sports Data.”
The panel, hosted by Geekwire reporter Taylor Soper, focused on a few different areas of sports data, from predictive analytics to ownership of biometric data.
