Now is the time to reserve your place at the Global Sports Industry Congress, to join leading names from the sports world who will be descending on London on 18-19 October for this major international conference.
The sports industry is now estimated to be worth $500 billion worldwide, but the bulk of recent growth – and the most exciting prospects for the future – belong to a new and ambitious generation of rapidly developing markets. These ‘Emerging Sports Nations’ will form the focus of the Congress. Contractors and suppliers in the sports industry will have a unique opportunity at the event to meet with potential clients and partners from the Middle East, the BRIC markets (Brazil, Russia, India, China), Central Asia, Eastern Europe, the Far East and Africa.
A powerful networking opportunity, the GSI Congress will bring together sports administrators, executives, investors, contractors, suppliers and other key market players, for a broad discussion of the ‘business of sport’ in these new hotspots, including financing, sponsorship, infrastructure, merchandising, marketing and broader development issues – and the role that UK expertise can play in providing a vision for the future, and the latest in state-of-the-art services and support.
