Michael "Mike" Pratt - Founder, President, and Host - Digital Fight Club

Michael "Mike" Pratt is an entrepreneur, technology executive, and the Founder, President, and Host of Digital Fight Club (DFC). Digital Fight Club: Founded by Pratt in 2015, Digital Fight Club is a highly popular, fast-paced live event series designed to replace boring, dry corporate panels. It pits top technology gurus, CEOs, and cybersecurity experts against each other in a metaphorical "ring" to debate contentious, cutting-edge tech topics in front of a live audience and a panel of expert referees. What started as a local event in Dallas, Texas, has expanded to other major tech hubs like Houston, Atlanta, and Boston, and is currently being developed for a broader television audience format. Digital Dallas: Before DFC took off, Pratt founded Digital Dallas, an organization aimed at fostering, showcasing, and connecting the entrepreneurial and digital technology community in North Texas. Panamplify: In addition to his event ventures, Pratt serves as the CEO of Panamplify, a technology company that uses automation and artificial intelligence to streamline data collection and report generation for marketing agencies and brands. Pratt is widely recognized in the southern tech ecosystem for his high-energy hosting style and his knack for turning dense industry topics into entertaining, digestible spectacles.
