The Minor League Baseball Promotional Seminar, a 25-year-old tradition created by the League, will take place at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. The seminar features promotions, sales, marketing, tickets and operations within the business of sports for the baseball and other sports executives drawn to the event. In 2001, the Pelicans are sponsoring the seminar for the first time.
