2020 Event Information & Session Outlines Event Partners www.BaseballCoachesClinic.com www.BaseballCoachesClinic.com January 2020 Dear Coach, Welcome to the 17th annual Mohegan Sun World Baseball Coaches’ Convention held in the Mohegan Sun's newest venue, the Expo Center! We are excited to have you here. Our mission is to provide you with the very best in coaching education; and again, this year, we have secured the best clinicians and designed a curriculum that addresses all levels of play and a range of coaching areas. Here are a couple of convention notes for 2020: - We are excited to return to Mohegan Sun’s state of the art Expo Center, where we've added additional interactive learning sessions on our Demo Infield and the On Deck Sports Batting Cage in the Exhibitor Zone. We’ve also added a new venue in the Exhibitor Zone, The Bullpen, where attendees can meet and discuss baseball with select presenters following their sessions. - Again this year, we will offer you post-event access to video of our Thursday and Friday convention sessions (more than 30 sessions!), so that you can refresh your memory or watch sessions you may have missed. Following the clinic, we will provide attendees with a special promo code, which will enable you to purchase all sessions at a greatly discounted rate. - To provide you with the latest event information, we offer an event app that features the convention schedule, a list of exhibitors, a digital version of the event handout and much more. Search Baseball Coaches Convention in the app stores. If you'd like to receive real-time event updates and news, please allow us to push event notifications to your device of choice. - We will offer a Talking Baseball Panel Discussion on Friday evening from 5:45PM – 6:45PM in Break-Out 1. Our panelists will discuss the game today, provide insights into what and who motivated them, and finish by taking questions from the audience. It should be a terrific final session of the day. Our convention is more than just three days of coaching instruction; it is a chance to bounce ideas off your fellow coaches and learn from each other. Our staff, exhibitors and guest speakers will be available to you throughout the convention. Please don’t hesitate to introduce yourself, ask a question or provide your own perspective on the game. We thank all of our excellent presenters, who have found the time to share their knowledge of and passion for America's game. A special thanks to our title sponsor, Mohegan Sun; and to all of our sponsors and exhibitors, whose support helps make this event possible. We hope you enjoy this year’s Mohegan Sun World Baseball Coaches’ Convention.
