About The Event:
TECH & TEQUILA – AI Innovation Meets the World’s Game


Hosted by Blue People, featuring T.E.A.M. Houston & Maximum Ventures, in partnership with RASCASSE


Soccer is no longer just a sport - it’s a global audience, a cultural movement, and a massive business opportunity. As Houston prepares for Soccer Year 2026, understanding who the soccer fan really is - locally and internationally - has never been more critical.


TECH & TEQUILA brings together Houston’s tech, marketing, innovation, and sports-minded communities for an evening where AI-powered audience intelligence meets real-world opportunity. In a relaxed, social setting - complete with curated tequila tastings - you’ll hear how advanced data and AI reveal what soccer fans truly care about, how they behave, where they spend time, and how brands, cities, and organizations can engage them more effectively.


Through real examples and practical insights, T.E.A.M. Houston, and RASCASSE will showcase how AI-driven audience intelligence goes far beyond demographics - unlocking deep behavioral insights into soccer fans here at home and those traveling in from abroad for major tournaments.

This is not a technical deep dive - it’s a strategic, accessible, and highly relevant conversation for anyone involved in technology, media, sports, events, sponsorships, or brand growth.


What you’ll learn
  • Audience Profiling & Personas
    Build rich, behavior-based soccer fan personas using real digital signals - not assumptions.

  • Media Planning & Activation
    Understand where soccer fans actually spend time - Spotify, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit - and how to activate smarter campaigns.

  • Brand Partnerships, Sponsorships & Influencer Matching
    Identify high-fit partners, sponsors, and creators based on shared audience interests - locally and globally.

  • Location Planning, Tour Strategy & OOH Marketing
    Use data-backed interest hotspots to target the right neighborhoods, cities, and regions.

  • Market Sizing & International Expansion
    Compare interest across regions, track Share of Search, and spot growth opportunities tied to global soccer audiences.

  • Programmatic Advertising
    Reach overlooked segments and reduce costs by targeting deep behavioral traits—not just keywords or demographics.


TECH & TEQUILA is a fun, high-energy networking experience designed for innovators who want to be ready for what’s coming next. If soccer, technology, data, and business intersect anywhere - it’s here.


Be prepared for Houston's Soccer Year 2026. Let AI help you understand the soccer fan.
