The NHL’s annual Club Business Meetings presented by Ticketmaster opened Monday in Denver with a record attendance of more than 1,300 representatives from all 32 clubs and the league office, marking the largest gathering in the event’s more than 30-year history. Hosted by the Avalanche, the July 13-16 meetings feature more than 35% first-time attendees and focus on sharing best practices and innovations aimed at driving fan engagement and business growth across the league.
The agenda spans business functions including ticketing, sponsorship, marketing, communications, analytics, technology, venue operations, finance and community relations. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Kroenke Sports & Entertainment Owner/Chairman Stan Kroenke will headline the event with a leadership-focused fireside chat on Wednesday.
Ticketmaster, the NHL’s official ticketing partner, is marking its 10th year as presenting sponsor of the meetings, which also include networking events and wellness activities for attendees.
