Business of sport on the agenda at Business Leadership event

The business of sport is set to be discussed at a business breakfast in the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park next month.

Ulster GAA Secretary/CEO Brian McAvoy will join Irish FA Chief Executive Patrick Nelson and Ulster Rugby Chief Executive Jonny Petrie as key speakers at the event on Thursday 21st September (9am to 11am).

The three heads of the province’s largest sports organisations will be sharing their insights and experiences on the challenges and successes of life in the sports industry, how to lead successful teams and what lies ahead for the future of sport.

NFS Events, the arm of the Irish Football Association which promotes the stadium as a conference venue and events space, is hosting the breakfast as part of its 2023 Business Leadership series.

Currency risk management specialist Alpha Group is partner of the Business Leadership series, while next month’s breakfast will also be supported by Sport for Business, the networking organisation which builds links between sport and business across the island of Ireland. Rob Hartnett from Sport for Business will host the event.

Ulster GAA Secretary Brian McAvoy said: “I am looking forward to sharing the stage with my counterparts from the Irish FA and Ulster Rugby.

“This event will provide a great opportunity to learn how the three organisations here are operating in a changed environment, and how sport plays an ever-increasing role in the wider economic landscape.”
