16TH ANNUAL JMSM SPORTS BUSINESS CONFERENCE

The largest student-run conference of its kind in the country!

The conference is a three-day event, highlighted by guest speakers sharing their insight and wisdom about the industry. For the first time in the conference’s 16 year history, we look forward to introducing a CASE COMPETITION, which would give students practical experience of what it is like to work in sports.

This year, we are pleased to announce the theme of our conference is “From Passion to Profit”. Sports fans are arguably the most passionate type of consumers in the market place, and in no other business does passion effect buying patterns as much as it does in sports. This theme is twofold for our delegates. On one side, we are all here to learn how sports executives capitalize on the passion of their consumers to ensure the continuity of the brand or club. Then, there are all of us who want to know how to turn our passion for sport into a viable and financial stable career.
