Sports business industry networking

There's no promise that you'll leave Thursday's sports business industry networking event with Theo Epstein's cellphone number, but the night could give you some ideas for a career change. The event, which is meant to help people learn about the sports business, will feature a talk with Northeastern University athletic director Peter Roby, former ESPN Radio general manager Mike Winn, Red Sox public affairs guy Marty Ray, and Sports Museum curator Dick Johnson. If your dream is to be a Theo-type (or to work for a Theo-type), bring business cards. 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Free. The Greatest Bar, 262 Friend St., Boston. 617-367-0544. anthemevents.com
