The ITAM Sports Analytics Conference (ISAC) is an annual event founded by students and alumni from Mexico’s ITAM. Rooted in the belief that sports data can reshape the industry across Latin America, ISAC brings together students, professionals, and companies to explore the latest in sports analytics.
Born from a need to bridge the technology gap in Latin American sports, ISAC empowers:
Students — by opening doors to mentorship, competitions, and career opportunities.
Professionals — by offering a high-level platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and innovation.
Our goal: to evangelize data-driven decision making in sports and build a thriving, inclusive community.
