We’re looking forward to this fall, when Navigate’s Founder, AJ Maestas, will take the stage at TEDx Chicago. He’ll be sharing lessons he’s learned in a career of researching sports business and behavioral psychology.

Why are sports fans so passionate, and why do they act so irrationally? AJ explores the lessons that sports can teach us about community and human behavior. In a time when the world seems more divided than ever, perhaps the surprising answer to bringing us all together can be learned from sports.

The event will take place October 6th, 2023 at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance near Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. Tickets are now available for purchase here.

A recording of the talk will be available in the weeks following the event.
