Take Time Out of Being in the Business to Find the Growth for Your Business

Leaders Meet: Innovation is a brand new, private, invitation-only event carefully curated for 400 of the most senior leaders in the professional sports industry with the ambition to catalyse growth in their businesses. ​

C-Suite and Director-level executives at teams, leagues, brands, broadcasters, tech companies, and service providers will get direct knowledge from experts outside of sport to set the scene and then participate in genuinely off the record, peer-to-peer discussion to dissect what it means for you and your business.

  • Senior, approved application-only room of leaders in global sport
  • Structured discussion via Chatham House peer-to-peer and roundtable formats
  • Experts from outside of sport to provide critical macro perspectives and context
