Sports Marketing 360, the truly international sports industry conference is returning after the success of the inaugural event last year. Sports Marketing 360 is a vibrant, challenging and highly relevant conference designed to deliver significant value to those who work in sports, marketing, media, brands and related areas.

Held at the state-of-the art facilities at BT Centre in London on Wednesday 23rd September 2009 this conference can be attended in two ways . in person enjoying all the benefits of a conference delegate or, if you are outside the UK, by viewing live on the internet.

Since the first Sports Marketing 360 conference last October the sports sponsorship industry has gone through a revolution. Some old beliefs have been shaken and some new ones created. Value is the new watchword. Social media is maturing into a serious marketing tool. Budgets may have been cut but brand building continues with increasingly creative solutions filling the gap. Some areas of the world have slowed more than others but many continue to grow and fizz with potential. All of these issues and many more will be discussed at Sports Marketing 360.

“This conference was extraordinarily interesting. I have attended many conferences and at this one each of the four sessions was interesting, with good questions from the audience and truly interactive. I have taken a few key things out of this conference that are very helpful for me. I am looking forward to the next one.” – Alex Koch, Public Relations, FIFA on SportsMarketing 360’s inaugural event in 2008
