The National Sports Forum is a diverse congregation of sports business professionals gathering from leagues, teams, properties, agencies, brands, and more. More specifically, the foundation of the National Sports Forum is built on FIVE PILLARS:
The National Sports Forum is overseen by a diverse Steering Committee of team, league, and industry leaders – peers that share a universal interest in meeting and learning from one another. Like you, they realize that good ideas can’t occur “in a vacuum” – executives need to be able to get together with one another to discuss new ideas, new strategies, and new ways in which to keep their sponsors, ticket buyers, suite holders, broadcast partners, and others involved.
With increasing competition, rising costs, and tighter margins – teams and events are challenged to not only survive … but thrive! As anyone who’s attended our previous 26 Conference & Trade Shows can attest, the National Sports Forum is THE MUST ATTEND conference in sports business industry! We proudly support the best interests and traditions of the NSF “FAMILY” and its alumni. Lifelong relationships are the foundation of our industry, and we strive to put together a platform to support collaboration, communication, and friendship amongst our peers.
We meet each year for three days of networking, idea sharing and listening to the industry’s top spokespeople, through numerous breakout sessions, panel discussions, networking events and keynote speeches. Past speakers have included:
