Sport for Business is hosting Partners 2019 a special event bringing together sporting bodies and commercial brands for a morning of learning about sponsorship and exploring potential collaborations.
The event takes place in the Conference Centre at the National Sports Campus on Friday, May 31st and places are filling fast.
For Sponsors: An opportunity to see the wealth of different opportunities that are available in sport at every level and may well fit into a plan you have for 2020.
For Agencies: Be in the room with your clients and those who may become so. Be inspired to deliver the kind of creative solutions they are looking for.
For Sporting Bodies: Learn from the experts how sponsorship works for them and increase your knowledge of how it can do so for you.
