Known as one of the most technologically-savvy thought leaders in sport and innovation, Sacramento Kings Owner and Chairman Vivek Ranadivé will head a session during the annual SXSW conference in Austin, Texas in March.
"I'm excited to speak at SXSW and share the story of how we're creating the most connected, sustainable and technologically-advanced arena in the world," says Ranadivé, whose session is titled “Arena 3.0: Creating the Next Great American City”.
In just three years in Sacramento, Ranadivé has transformed the Kings into one of the most forward-thinking, technologically-innovative teams in sports. Through his leadership, the Kings became the first NBA team to utilize drones, augmented reality, Google Glass, communicate with fans via chatbots, accept Bitcoin, test driverless cars and much more.
