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, 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.
The schedules at our Global Sports Summits will be based around four key themes:
