We will be on stage at the National Football Stadium in Belfast this morning talking about the business of sport in Northern Ireland with leaders from across the sporting and business spectrum.
NFS Events, the arm of the Irish Football Association which promotes the stadium as a conference venue and events space, is hosting the breakfast as part of its 2023 Business Leadership series, in partnership with Alpha FX.
Irish FA chief executive Patrick Nelson and Brian McAvoy, chief executive of Ulster GAA, will be the key speakers at the event.
They will be joined by Professor Johnny Moore of the Cathedral Eye Clinic which is a partner of the IFA, Ulster GAA, Ulster Rugby and the Belfast Giants.
They will be sharing their insights and experiences on the challenges and successes of life in the sports industry, how to lead successful teams and what lies ahead for the future of sport, from the bid to host the Euro 2028 Finals, to the redevelopment of facilities and the staging of a first ever Ulster Rugby fixture at Kingspan Breffni Park
Currency risk management specialist Alpha Group is partner of the Business Leadership series, while the breakfast will be hosted by Rob Hartnett of Sport for Business.
“I am confident this event will provide valuable insights into how our organisations operate, the impact they have within Northern Ireland and how sport in general is adapting to a social and economic landscape that is ever changing,” said Irish Football Association CEO Patrick Nelson.
The event will be attended by 130 Business leaders from across multiple sectors and include many members of the Sport for Business community.
