iSportConnect Masterclass+ events provide senior executives with a platform to share and debate the opportunities and issues facing the business of sport.

They are half day invitation-only events which focus on solving real industry challenges through peer group discussion and provide an opportunity to network and learn from like-minds, building the relationships that will change the industry for the better.

Topic Background:

The digitalisation of sport has created opportunities for International Federations to understand and directly market to fans as well as to create value for sponsors. However, the digital experiences open to sports fans continue to grow exponentially and the competition for attention and retention has never been more intense. 

How do International Federations, irrespective of the resource they have access to, build digital experiences that keep fans coming back based on an understanding what connects fans with the sports they love?
