iSportconnect Forms Partnership with 2014 Global Sports Symposium

April 11, 2014

iSportconnect, the world’s largest private network of sports executives, is proud to become a partner of the 2014 Global Sports Symposium.

The 2014 Global Sports Symposium will be held on Thursday, May 15 at the Emirates Stadium in London. The Symposium offers unrivalled knowledge of the sports business industry, with industry leaders from across many different leagues and clubs.

Amongst those leaders include representatives of the Premier League, National Football League, Rugby Football Union, National Basketball League and many more.

Younger delegates of the 2014 Global Sports Symposium will have the opportunity to gain career support, through the “Supercharge Your Career in Sport” workshop. Attendees will be able to ask questions and have them answered by young professionals across a breadth of industries within sport.

As a part of the new partnership, iSportconnect Chairman Michael Cunnah will be on the panel for the League Revenue Models: Building a Sustainable Future discussion. The 2013/14 Premier League Season saw the advent of a new set of spending restrictions under the Financial Fair Play Rules. These new regulations remind us of the evident disparity between different league revenue models.  This panel will seek to identify best practices and what management can learn from sharing information and models with one another in order to create more stable, sustainable and profitable businesses.

Commenting on the partnership, Cunnah said: “The 2014 Global Sports Symposium has a wonderful range of speakers and panellists for their event and I am delighted to be one of them. I am looking forward to being joined by other industry experts on the panel and I am confident we will provide a meaningful discussion to the delegates.

“iSportconnect is very proud to partner with the Global Sports Symposium and we are excited to see everyone there next month.”

Alex Rosen, Executive Director at the Global Sports Symposium added: “The Global Sports Symposium is a natural extension of the Ivy Sports Symposium, a nonprofit, student-run event that has enjoyed great success in the United States for eight years. Similar to its sister event, GSS will attract both top executives and the next generation of leaders, offering quality content and intimate networking opportunities at one of the industry’s most spectacular venues.”
