Presenters

Brandon Esler oversees EventConnect's largest and most strategic partnerships across North America’s sports tourism ecosystem. Since joining the company in 2018, he has grown from account management into the role responsible for EventConnect's highest-volume event organizers — working daily at the intersection of rights holders, destinations and hotel partners as events move from bid to booking to game day. 

His perspective is grounded on the field as much as in the boardroom. Esler is a Level 3 official with the Ontario Minor Hockey Association, serves as Executive Secretary of the London Referees Group, and spent 12 years as a Baseball Ontario umpire. He is based in London, Ontario.
