For the second consecutive year, Herrick was pleased to co‑host Avenue Capital Group’s Power Play: Sports Sponsorship Accelerator conference at the Cosm Arena in Los Angeles. Power Play is an exclusive, invitation‑only gathering that brings together leaders at the intersection of private equity, sports and brand partnerships.

Herrick partner Sean O’Donnell had the privilege of introducing the keynote fireside conversation between Abe Madkour of Sports Business Journal and Rich Paul, founder of KLUTCH Sports—two influential voices who offered thoughtful perspectives on trust, connection, and relationship‑building as cornerstones of success in the sports business community.
