This past weekend was the 2018 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. The conference, which is held in Boston, sees the gathering of some of the greatest minds in the sports analytics world. A ton of media people and team representatives gather in a conference center for two days to discuss all things analytics, with panels including former players, coaches, and owners to discuss key topics in the analytical world.
For the second year in a row I was able to get the opportunity to attend this conference. Although I only attended for the Saturday session (due to two exams I had on Friday), it was an amazing experience.
