Sport for Business is once again pleased to support the Irish Sponsorship Summit taking place at Croke Park on February 26th. We have also secured an exclusive discount rate for Sport for Business members attending the event.
This is the fifth year of the summit and once again organiser Bruce Mansour has gone down an international route in terms of keynote speakers.
Heading the list is Patrick Nally, the man credited with creating the multi sponsor model as used by FIFA and the IOC and adapted by the GAA and the European Rugby Champions’ Cup closer to home.
He will be joined by Dedra DeLilli, US based Director of Social Media, Marketing and Corporate Sponsorships at TD Ameritrade, who will share her insights and expertise garnered from managing Ameritrade’s global partnerships with London 2012, Sochi 2014 and the NFL.
Richard Ayers, CEO of Seven Leagues and former Head of Digital at Manchester City FC, completes a hat trick of the first wave of speakers for the event. The CEO of Seven Leagues and former Head of Digital at Manchester City FC, will present on global best practice for organisations looking to accelerate the performance of their digital media channels sharing his experience from UEFA, FIFA, UFC and many more.
Over the coming weeks we will reveal further event details including additional speakers and breakout sessions helping professionals make the most of their role in sponsorship here in Ireland.
“We’ve identified the latest trends in global sponsorship and have assembled a stellar line up including the foremost practitioners from the US, Canada and UK as well as the Irish sponsorship industry,” said Mansour.
“This year there will be a broader focus on arts, media and music as well as sport and we will have practical workshops focusing on digital, creating your own event and CSR.”
“We’ve ensured that the format of the day is as interactive and engaging as possible and with ample time put aside for networking it’s a truly exciting proposition for any sponsorship of marketing professional looking to improve their ways of working or to lure in that elusive new sponsor.”
