Events You’ll Gain Experience With

Charity Golf Outings • Celebrity Softball Games • Topgolf Events • Galas • WAGs Events and Experiences • Youth Sports Camps • Wellness Events • Community and Philanthropic Events • Sponsor Activations • VIP Experiences • And More

Every event is different, giving interns experience across multiple markets, event formats and areas of the sports industry.

Travel and On-Site Experience

The internship is primarily remote, but interns may be asked to travel and work on-site at select INSPYR events. For approved internship travel, INSPYR will cover required travel expenses associated with the trip.

These opportunities allow interns to move beyond the computer and experience event execution firsthand, including setup, sponsor activations, guest experience, event operations and breakdown. Some events may take place during evenings or weekends.

Internship Team and Mentorship

All interns will report directly to Carley Sanfilippo, Founder and CEO of INSPYR Sports & Entertainment.

This gives interns the opportunity to learn firsthand from the person leading the company, developing its partnerships and overseeing events across the country. Interns will work directly with Carley on sales, sponsorships, event planning, partnerships and other company initiatives.

Our internship team meets weekly via Zoom to discuss current events, sales opportunities, priorities, progress and upcoming projects. Outside of these meetings and select on-site events, the internship is remote. New interns will join our existing team of three interns, creating an active and collaborative environment while still receiving direct access to company leadership.

• Willing to pick up the phone, send the email and make the ask
• Self-motivated and able to work effectively in a remote environment
• Organized and capable of managing multiple projects
• Creative and willing to contribute new ideas
• Dependable and able to meet deadlines
