Valley Forge Sports has been an active advertiser with SportsEvents Magazine for multiple years because of the quality content and extensive industry coverage.
-Marc KaminetskyValley Forge Sports
I’ve worked with the folks at SportsEvents for so long that they seem like family to me. We have been a long time advertiser and feel that SportsEvents gives us the ability to get our branding message across to a large portion of the rights holders in our industry. Advertising in SportsEvents has been so positive for us that it led us to also becoming an annual sponsor for The Relationship Conference. We could not be happier with our relationship with SportsEvents and hope it continues well into the future.”
-Scott PowersExperience Columbia SC Sports

S.P.O.R.T.S. The Relationship Conference is an exclusive, space-limited hosted buyer event where the ratio of suppliers to event rights holders is kept intentionally low. This annual event brings together serious-minded sports event executives to participate in 12-15 minute one-on-one appointments and plenty of unique networking activities.
When it comes to building relationships, we believe less is more. We limit the number of supplier attendees while
hosting nearly the same number of rights holders as other industry events. Our three-to-one ratio ensures you
unparalleled access to the industry’s top sports event planners.
A ‘Boutique’ Conference Experience
Quality and QuantityAt S.P.O.R.T.S., you’ll relish in the relaxed format
and intimate setting which inspires the development of warm friendships and lasting
business relationships. But bring plenty of business cards, because with 60-75 sports event planners on site, there will be a
wealth of opportunities and connections.
By limiting the number of supplier attendees, S.P.O.R.T.S. offers you lengthy, pre-scheduled,
fully qualified appointments that are a full 12-15 minutes long. And with hours of
appointment sessions over the course of two days, you’ll have plenty of time to share your
story and book new business!
Exclusive and Inclusive
Our sponsorship packages are designed to help you increase your exposure and connect with your best
prospects during the event! Contact us today to learn more about our pre-designed
packages or to create your own sponsorship!
