The action-packed two-day programme of SPORTO 2015 has just been announced! With only a month to go (Nov 19 – 20), we can now offer you a more detailed view of the happening at the Mediterranean venue of (S)Portorož, that includes insights into trends, approaches and opportunities connected to using the power of sport as communication channel. Be sure to join us and gain new ideas, discuss challenges and take advantage of the great networking opportunities that the leading event of this kind in this part of Europe offers.
SPORTO 2015 is a must for all people involved in the sports marketing and sponsorship field as it aims to give the attendee’s a 360-degree insight to key relevant fields of the trade. This year’s SPORTO Conference will hosts speakers and panel guests from different environments and sectors across Europe: from the UK and the Netherlands to Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia. We will have a look at the sponsorship strategy and activation approaches, brand building in sport, embracing digital media, endorsements, PR in sports (marketing), Olympic sponsorship and the legal aspects that are surrounding the Road to Rio 2016, the relationship between TV and sport, parallels with the entertainment world, a view into event marketing and competition bidding and much more.
Once again we will be hosting renowned international names, coming from some of the leading brands in sports, who will share their insights and experience. Wimbledon, Borussia Dortmund, Red Bull Air Race, Swatch Beach Volley Major Series, dh management (Ana Ivanović’s management company), ATP Umag Croatia are just some of the well-known names from the sports world in the exciting line-up we have prepared for you at our twelfth annual international SPORTO event. Joining us as a special guest will be Tina Maze: the queen of ski slopes, FIS overall record holder, Olympic and World champion, Laureus nominee, 4 time SPORTO Brand winner and one of the most marketable athletes in region.
Sponsorship – its approaches, ROI measurement and the sponsor & sports property relationship – represents a complex field, with the digital environment bringing new opportunities. If done right, the reward sponsorship offers is not comparable to other marketing tools out there. Hear the insights from some of the leading people in the industry: we’ll be hosting key experts from leading international agencies and sponsors such as M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment, Slingshot Sponsorship, Milka (Mondelez Europe), Royal Dutch KPN (ESA Excellence Awards 2014 Best of Europe winner) as well as some of the key regional players; the list includes Agrokor, Triglav Group, Atlantic Grupa and BTC.For a full programme overview click here.
