In the expanding digital market, the sports and entertainment industries are enduring an evolution that is challenging traditional norms. Southern University Law Center recognizes this shift and has created programming to usher in fresh dialogue. The SULC Nexus, formerly known as the “Sports and Entertainment Symposium” will take place September 7-8 at the Valdry Center for Philanthropy at Southern University.

The goal of SULC Nexus is to provide a space for thought-provoking round table discussions that will expose the inner workings of the sports and entertainment industry while sparking contemporary ideas among like-minded professionals.
"In this generation of immeasurable connectivity and innovation, it is imperative that we, as visionaries and disruptors, collaborate to unmask this industry's ripe potential," said Torrence Burnett, coordinator of sports and entertainment programming at Southern University Law Center.
