Innovation Sports & Entertainment was formalized in 2011 to further establish The Innovation Group of Companies' presence in a broader range of sports, entertainment, performance venue, convention center and related amenity segments.  A specialty division within The Innovation Group, the practice further diversifies the entertainment and leisure focus of the organization, expanding our capabilities beyond the typical offerings we have provided our destination resort clientele throughout the past two decades into previously untapped sports operations at the regional, university and professional level.

The Innovation Sports & Entertainment division is led by Managing Director John Swiatek, a 25-year veteran specializing in the sports, entertainment, hospitality, racing and gaming industries. Through various advisory, management and ownership roles, Mr. Swiatek’s extensive network of clients includes NFL and NBA franchises, major and minor league baseball operations, racing associations, PGA tour events, sports broadcasting and media outlets, major universities, and state and local agencies. From sports marketing and management to stadium naming rights and other sponsorships, Mr. Swiatek has addressed every key role expected of a leading sports and entertainment advisor, and his network of industry relationships is second to none.
