There is already strong support from many international organising committees, past and present. BOCOG, VANOC, ATHOC, SportDenmark, and Sochi 2014 Bid Committee have all shown a keen interest in headlining the event. From the UK side the conference will be opened by Sports Minister, Richard Caborn and will also include the British representative to the IOC, Sir Craig Reedie.
UKT&I’s Andrew Bacchus said, “this is the first time that so many senior level representatives from bidding and hosting nations and cities will be presenting at the same conference. Major games organisers face increasingly high stakes and it is essential that they get the right commercial partnerships in place. Our intention is to raise the level of debate to the very highest and make a substantial contribution to partnership success”
The 2007 Global Sports Conference subtitled Partnership Excellence in Global Sport will be held at the Grange City Hotel, London. The event will take place over 2 days with a networking gala dinner designed to give delegates access to games organisers representing £millions in contracting opportunities.
The conference is being delivered by SportBusiness Group on behalf of UKT&I. Limited opportunities exist for exhibitors. To register interest in attending or exhibiting email sasha.barker@sportbusiness.com
