iSportconnect is delighted to confirm the lineup for LaLiga’s Dubai Summit panel and that Jon Hall – Kodak‘s Chief Growth Officer – has been added to the event’s stellar guest speaker list.
Spain’s globally popular football league is delivering more value than ever before for its partners and a special opening panel will bring together key decision makers from inside LaLiga’s brand relationships to explore how the league and brands work together to engage fans, innovate and optimise ROI for partners.

The quartet will dissect their working relationship and current projects, plus challenges they have overcome, to ensure the high-ranking delegates in attendance at Address Boulevard – the newest lifestyle address located in the prestigious Downtown area of Dubai – encounter expert insight into the sports industry.Other panel topics include broadcasting and the digital audience, a debate on what brands want from sport sponsorship and a discussion on the globalised digital market.
Hall‘s addition to the speaker list will add significant value to the content programme, having played a key role in Kodak’s business development, alliances, partnerships, revenue growth and strategic investments since 2015.
He boasts extensive experience in a variety of sectors, courtesy of roles at Formula One, Travelport, WPP Plc, Dow Jones and the Financial Times.
