There were jubilant scenes as award winners from the UK, USA, Holland, Switzerland and Australia celebrated their success across a range of categories that underscored the breadth of disciplines and expertise required to plan, stage and manage major sports events in a highly competitive global environment.
“The response we have received from those who entered the awards and who attended the ceremony has been overwhelmingly positive. We look forward to growing the event significantly in the years to come. The event sector is the life-blood of the business of sport and those who set the standard deserve the recognition that the SportBusiness ISEMS awards confer on them,” said Nigel Rushman of organisers Rushmans.
