The partnership, which begins in 2019, unites two iconic names in the business of sport. Combining the wealth of experience that SPORTEL has in event management, with the editorial insight and data from SportBusiness, the partnership will deliver a truly unique event which will set the benchmark for future sport business conferences and events.

As well as the joint strengths of SPORTEL and SportBusiness, each Summit will draw on specially commissioned, exclusive and proprietary research which will delve into industry trending areas and provide key take-away learnings for delegates to use in their businesses.  In addition, the research and insight will be shared exclusively with and debated by a star-studded line up of Decision Makers from across a broad range of sectors in the sports industry - media, sponsorship, technology, fan engagement and stadia.  

This combination - two of the most trusted brands in the sports industry, specially commissioned research and the most exclusive line-up of speakers and panellists- will mean that the Sports Decision Makers Summits will become the must-attend events in the calendars of senior Decision Makers in the business of sport.

The first event of the partnership will be the Sports Decision Makers Summit, Miami, held between May 6-7, 2019, at The W South Beach, Miami. This will be followed by Sports Decision Makers Summit, London on July 9-10, 2019.  Further details can be found at: http://www.sportsdecisionmakers.com
