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.
