Las Vegas, NV – Local Content, a leading compliance technology and deployment company, proudly announces the launch of Sports + Entertainment Week, a groundbreaking series focused on the intersection of sports and entertainment industry development through federal, state, and city local and domestic content compliance requirements. When economic, workforce, and community development efforts are advanced for local taxpayers, industry operators, and investors, projects can access government real estate and facility leases, economic development funding subsidies, and qualify for tax incentives.
Scheduled from July 11–19, 2025, this week-long event invites investors, project owners, taxpayers, industry leaders, nonprofits, and fans to discover how local and domestic content requirements drive small business growth, job creation, and community benefit investments within the sports and entertainment industry.
Local and domestic content policies mandate that a percentage (often 20%–40%) of goods, services, workforce, and community benefit investments in projects—such as stadiums, arenas, casinos, and hospitality venues—are sourced from local and/or domestic businesses. These policies enable projects to secure operational licenses, contracts, public funding, and tax incentives while delivering measurable community benefits.
