Inspiring Sponsorship Thinking at Partners 2019

We are down to the last 20 places remaining for the Sport for Business Partners 2019 Sponsorship event at the Sport Ireland Campus this Friday and this morning we are giving away half of those places free to Sport for Business members.

Email us today with one line saying why you would like to join us at Partners 2019.

Highlights of each of the presentations made on the day will be made available in a single presentation to all Sport for Business members after the event in order to encourage the potential to support some of the great projects we will be showcasing.

It will be a morning of learning about current best practice in the world of sports sponsorship, sharing some of the work from those that are making a difference across a variety of different initiatives and discovering from the experts the best way to go about delivering sponsorship benefits.

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.

A central part of the morning is an opportunity for sporting bodies to pitch one great idea for a commercial partnership to those gathered in the room.
