Change of times as a topic at the Sport Forum Switzerland

The Sport Forum Switzerland is considered the largest industry meeting of the Swiss sports business. According to organizer ESB Marketing Netzwerk, it aims to highlight and critically examine the latest trends. This year's event will highlight the changing times in sports. The energy crisis, post-Covid and rising inflation do not stop at the sports business.

"Turning point is a big term, but I am sure that it will apply to the Swiss sports business in the coming years," explains Hans-Willy Brockes, the organizer of the congress and Managing Director of ESB Marketing Network. "We are in the midst of a transition from male-dominated sports management to a diverse structure. Furthermore, the change will be reflected in demanding environmental, social and governance standards, or ESG standards for short, which are relevant in every area of the sports business," says Brockes. ESG - three letters that stand for more responsibility in sport. The abbreviation describes three sustainability-related areas of corporate responsibility. The topics of diversity, women in sport and sustainability will therefore be highlighted in separate forums.

Congress day with movement

Other trends, such as the topics of visionary financing, tokens and crypto, as well as all aspects of sports consumption via analog and digital media will be the focus. And how gamification is used today as visitor guidance and in sponsorship activation will be demonstrated on site by the company placeit.

"As with any good sports event, fun must not be neglected: With the Ochsner Sport Lauftreff, the Adcom Sports Night and the collection of Placeit Event Tokens, the congress day gets moving," Brockes continues.
