iSportconnect, the leading global networking platform for sport business, has announced iSportconnect Directors’ Club, London - an exclusive event for sports industry leaders to share market insight and best practice.
The event, in partnership with Generate Sponsorship and Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, takes place on 21st February and invites senior decision makers in the sponsorship industry to share high level insight and opinion on business trends and relevant industry news.
A specially invited audience of premium iSportconnect members will offer questions to speakers through a ‘Question Time’ style panel, followed by a round table networking opportunity in a relaxed environment.
The format of the event will include a panel of high profile speakers including Sir Craig Reedie, Member of the IOC Executive Board, Ed Warner, Chairman UK Athletics, Sally Hancock, Director, Olympic Marketing and Group Sponsorship at Lloyds TSB, Paul Vaughan, CEO of England Rugby 2015, with the session moderated by Richard Gillis, Sport Business writer and blogger for The Wall Street Journal.
The inaugural iSportconnect Directors’ Club successfully launched in Germany last November, with over 50 guests in attendance discussing the subject of Hospitality and the Law.
Founder and CEO of iSportconnect Sree Varma, said, ‘iSportconnect now has over 13,000 experts registered from the industry since its launch. With the introduction of iSportconnect’s Directors’ Club, we are now creating a platform which transfers our online network into live events, enabling industry leaders to continue discussions off-line and connect face-to-face.’
Rupert Pratt, Managing Director of Generate Sponsorship, who are assisting to manage and promote the event, said, ‘This is a fantastic opportunity for Directors, CEOs and senior stakeholders to meet and share high level, market leading best practice and insight in an exclusive environment. This is exactly the type of event the sports marketing and sponsorship industry needs.’
