Sport and New Media
"Two of the biggest brands in sports media, SportBusiness and Eurosport, are partnering once again to deliver the Sport and New Media conference in Paris on May 16, 2013," SportBusiness tells Around the Rings.
"We are very excited about Sport and New Media 2013, and expect this to be another sell-out event," said Phil Savage, Publishing Director at SportBusiness. "Over the past year we have witnessed rapid technological and commercial developments in the media industry which have opened up previously unimagined possibilities for communication, and critically ‘engagement’, with consumers. This is a hugely exciting time "

African International Sports Convention
The 2013 CISA Convention has been moved from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso to Dakar, Senegal.
"Dakar will host the 7th edition of CISA from 3 to 5 May 2013," said CISA.
"The lack of progress of the city of Ouagadougou has prompted us to move CISA to Dakar. CISA is now the largest sports convention in Africa, offering a unique opportunity for sports leaders and sports organizations to meet and exchange on the development of sport in Africa."

"The agenda has been carefully consolidated through many discussions with senior-level decision makers in the sporting industry and promises to discuss in detail every aspect of sporting infrastructure from the financing, budget management and planning to the design and construction stages. It will also place emphasis on business opportunities in regions where the largest sporting events are due to take place.
