Firmly established as the singular agenda-setting event for Australia’s Sport industry, the Business of Sport Summit will be returning in June with renewed ambition to build business resilience.
As our operating environment corrects and the sector begins to unlock, the Summit presents an enviable opportunity for the nation’s Sport leaders to connect, combat shared challenges, and leverage opportunities emerging from the upturn economy.
Together, we will interrogate the forces shaping the profession, from unleashing the power of fans to digital ecosystems, broadcasting innovation and live experiences, all with the intent of charting a new path to progress.

In this Session, we will consider innovative ways of activating traditional partnerships, as well as the unique possibilities enlivened by digital properties, to better understand the changing relationship between advocacy, reputation, and reach as sport and brand ecosystems evolve.
