But if you were not an attendee at the event, don’t expect to hear much about what Barack Obama shared.
Officials managing the 12th annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center put strict rules in place that extended beyond barring the media from divulging Obama’s insights.
An e-mail sent to those heading to the venue for the “conversation with Obama” read like a line from the movie “Fight Club”: The first rule of seeing the former commander-in-chief is don’t talk about seeing the former commander-in-chief.
After the Globe inquired about the rules, a second e-mail said “sharing or reporting of its contents” is strictly forbidden.
