Every year the Global Institute of Sport (GIS) hosts Global Sports Summits at our GIS Global Hubs bringing together UCFB and GIS students, alumni and leading sports industry professionals in some of the most advanced sports and entertainment venues in the world.
These immersive sports experiences will be based around guest speaker sessions and workshops, featuring sports professionals from the pitch, from the boardroom and from behind the scenes of the sports industry, as well as behind the scenes access to elite sporting venues, live sports experiences and cultural visits around each city.
Hosted at Inter Miami CF Stadium, New York’s Red Bull Arena, Toronto FC’s BMO Field and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), our Global Sports Summits enable groups of students and graduates to further enhance their knowledge of the international football and sports industry from professionals working at some of the biggest organisations in the sector.
Our global summits
The schedules at our global hubs will be based around four themes:
- From the pitch – hear from those who contribute towards the playing side of sport such as coaches, match analysts and sports scientists;
- From industry – find out more from those who’re responsible for what happens behind the scenes, such as marketing managers, agents and media officers;
- From the boardroom – learn about how the big decisions are taken at clubs and organisations from the likes of chief executives and chief finance officers;
- Cultural activities – this will include visits to national landmarks, leading sporting venues and at least one live sports fixture (subject to fixture lists).
Guest speakers for the summit will be confirmed closer to the event, but attendees will be able to hear from the leaders and key personnel at some of world's leading leading sports and clubs.
