JACKSON, Miss., Sept. 24, 2024 ~ On August 20, 2024, a group of 42 frontline workers, supervisors, and managers from Ilitch Sports and Entertainment gathered at the Tiger Club at Comerica Park in Detroit for a unique training experience. They were participating in the ASPIRE (Action – Study – Prepare – Inspire – Rise – Be Exceptional) program, a joint initiative developed by the Innovation Institute for Fan Experience (IIFX) in partnership with Intel Corporation, Dell Technologies, and PIXO VR.
