Supponor joins sport Leaders

Supponor will play a key role in a gathering of sport’s top decision-makers when the Leaders Sport Network convenes in La Manga next year.

It is the third consecutive year Supponor has agreed to be a major commercial partner in the annual networking platform for CEOs and director level executives.

The Leaders Sport Network (formerly known as Leaders in Sport) will return to the exclusive La Manga Club resort in Spain on 14 – 16 April 2013 for three days and two nights of business and relationship building.

Attendees have the opportunity to forge genuine, long lasting, personal and business relationships with key decision-makers in sport and network with more than 100 potential clients in an exclusive but relaxed environment.

Supponor CEO Chris Buckley said: “Leaders is increasingly regarded as a ‘Must-Go’ diary event for industry leaders across Europe and beyond. Its well-planned mix of social and business events provides a valuable platform for forging relationships with the people that matter.

“We’re delighted to be part of the winning team behind this year’s event and look forward to showing delegates the latest version of DBRLive. More and more of sport’s decision-makers are already familiar with the technology and I’m sure they’ll be keen to see how it’s developed into an even more impressive product.”

The Leaders Sport Network consists of a number of networking gatherings from breakfasts, lunches and dinners to roundtable discussions and dedicated speed networking sessions.
Corporate team building and social activities also enable delegates to create and strengthen relationships with the most senior executives in sport.

After last year’s Leaders gathering Alexey Pak, Head of Sponsorship at Russian football champions Zenit St. Petersburg, called it: “The best networking event I have ever attended.”

Other companies represented at the event included The Football League, British Airways, Nike, the NBA, AFC Ajax, England Rugby 2015 and the PGA European Tour. Organisations already confirmed as attending this year include the NFL, Nokia, the French Football Federation and British Olympic Association.

James Worrall, Leaders CEO, said: “The Leaders Sport Network 2013 is shaping up to be another impressive event in terms of the level of delegates and the quality of the agenda. Supponor fits into that mix perfectly and we’re very pleased to welcome them as commercial partners again this year.”
