The intersection of the sports industry with labor law requires leaders representing players' interests to zealously advocate for their rights. As Executive Director of the NFL Players Association, DeMaurice Smith, led players through a 132-day lockout imposed by NFL owners to collectively bargain and sign a 10-year collective bargaining agreement. Throughout his tenure, Smith has been a noted advocate for ensuring new health and safety protocols for players. During this fireside conversation, Mr. Smith will engage attendees with discussion, stories and examples of how he and the NFL Players Association have utilized multi-faceted strategies to advocate for players' best interests.
