No matter the division or level of competition, athletic communicators are navigating new challenges in how they share stories and connect with audiences. FanWord is a platform that streamlines workflows and elevates storytelling, while reinforcing the idea that AI tools should not be feared but embraced as a resource to save time and energy.
Whether you’re curious about why peers adopted FanWord or looking to understand how AI can simplify your daily routine, this session will highlight real-world experiences and actionable strategies from communicators across divisions.
This session will explore:
- Brief overviews from panelists on how long they’ve used FanWord and why they chose it
- How AI tools can simplify content creation and boost engagement
- The evolving role of storytelling in college athletics and how tools like FanWord support it
