Deluxe Access - ESX

The ESX 2025 General Session is your chance to be inspired and energized as we bring the entire industry together on the Main Stage.

This year’s General Session Speaker is John Smoltz, a first-ballot MLB Hall of Famer, eight-time All Star and National Cy Young Award winner, is FOX MLB’s lead game analyst. In addition to calling the network’s marquee regular season games, Smoltz is in the booth for the All-Star Game and a full slate of postseason matchups which include Division Series, League Championship Series and World Series assignments. Additionally, he serves as a guest analyst for Bally Sports South on select Atlanta Braves games.

Remembered as one of the cornerstone pieces of the Atlanta Braves dynasty that ruled the National League throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Smoltz joined fellow Hall of Famers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux atop a fearsome starting rotation that helped deliver the Braves 14 division titles, five National League pennants and the 1995 World Series championship. Smoltz owns a lifetime postseason ERA of 2.67, and his 199 career strikeouts and 15 wins rank second all-time in MLB playoff history. The Atlanta Braves retired Smoltz’s jersey in 2012.

Creativity is a skill like any other: it can be learned. In the same way that we teach employees how to track expenses, process invoices, and jiggle the lock just right to get into the supply closet, we can teach them how to be more creative, how to have better ideas, and how to build a culture where innovation is a natural byproduct.

True creative work exists in the gap between what you have and what you think you need. The ESX Keynote Luncheon will provide the tools your team needs to become more innovative.
