This year’s Sport for Business special event on Sport and Education will take place on Friday, November 18th at the National Basketball Arena in Dublin.
It will be a part of a special weekend of crossover and connection between Irish and US education and sport with the hosting in Dublin of the MAAC-ASUN Dublin Basketball Challenge.
Seven colleges from across the US will travel to Dublin and play in a men’s and Women’s competition bringing high-class College Basketball to our shores.
The teams will be accompanied by Athletic Directors and College Presidents who will join us for a breakfast session looking at the lessons that can be shared, and the connections made across the Atlantic.
Here is what the morning will consist of:
08:00: Coffee, light refreshments and networking
08:20: Welcome remarks from Rob Hartnett of Sport for Business and Gareth Maguire from Inspirus Sports
08:25: Discussion on the Importance of Sport to US Universities
08:50: The Irish Experience of Nurturing Sporting Talent

09:40: Wrap up and move to Arena seating for the opening game between the Rider Broncos and the Stetson Hatters.
