Event Details
What is this Summit all about?
Sports Marketing 2.0 VIP Summit is and educational event designed to help sports marketers learn best practices for the present and future of online sports marketing.
We need to think BEYOND THE STADIUM
Web 2.0 has changed the very nature of the online experience for sports fans, media and sponsors alike. Fans are not just fans anymore. And players are not just players. They are also journalists, community members and consumers and some have become powerful centers of influence. Turning over control to fans runs counter to traditional marketing thinking, but it could be the biggest opportunity in our business today. Success in this new environment will not come automatically. We have a lot to learn, and that’s where the VIP Summit comes
The Sports Marketing 2.0 VIP Summit is designed to help marketers do what fans are already doing...
Building collective intelligence by cooperating openly and harnessing network effects.
Who should attend?
- Senior level brand marketers and sponsors
- Web Publishers focused on sports content, communication and community
- Sports teams and governing bodies
- Interactive Agencies involved in sports marketing
- Web applications developers enabling sports initiatives
- Consultants and others working in sports marketing and Web 2.0

How Summits work
Summits are tightly-packed, half-day events. You will leave smarter and better connected than when you arrived. We do panel discussions from 1pm to 5pm followed by a cocktail reception and sit-down dinner. Each portion of the program is designed to educate and help attendees build relationships with fellow practitioners. There is no selling. Just teaching and learning. As always attendees will be encouraged to share their best practices and case studies through our online community site www.sportsmarketing20.com before, during and after the summits.

Introductions and Agenda: 1:00pm to 1:30 pm
Panel I: Measurement 1:30pm to 2:15pmMeasuring sports fans online: how many are there and why should we care?
Let’s get right to the bottom line: this panel is about quantifying the value of online sports properties. Is “sports” just another media buy or is there a sponsorship opportunity online? How is the sports audience different from more general online audiences? We’ll look at issues like: quantity versus quality of audience and exposure versus engagement and try to get to the bottom line – how sponsors evaluate sports properties online.

How is user-generated content making sports sites more valuable?
Sports fans are highly active online, and they’re not just consuming content, they’re creating it too. This panel will explore some of the ways unique to sports that Web properties are engaging with sports fans in ways that are most meaningful to the fans. We’ll also discuss ways sponsors are building brands and driving sales from this engagement.
