REVIEWS

Sport is developing actively

This applies not only to the sports component: new results, records and technological achievements. Modern sports organizations are compete with entertainment industry for the attention and interest of spectators and fans. The best practices and implemented cases are more valuable if they obtained directly from the leaders and pioneers as sports clubs, leagues and federations, which already conduct practical work on this direction. The accumulation of all useful knowledges and experience together, the exchanging opinions and developments with experts from sports and business is possible thanks to the Sport Leaders Global Forum.

Ilya Hercus

CEO of the football club Locomotive

Dear friends!

I am glad to welcome the organizers, participants and guests of Sport Forum 2018 in St. Petersburg.

Our city is multifaceted cultural center of Russia with a strong economics and business environment. A city that hosts various major international forums.

So pleasant to realise that the annual sports business forum — the Sport Leaders Global Forum — has appeared with the support of the Committee of Physical Culture and Sport of St. Petersburg. From the very beginning the Forum 2017 became international immediately and collected representatives of business and sports from Europe, the USA, India, China and Russia. I am sure that the organizers will develop this important and interesting project at the highest level.
I wish you to be productive, to make a constructive dialogue and to get unforgettable impressions of your stay in the beautiful city St. Petersburg!

Pavel Belov

Chairman of the Committee of Physical Culture and Sport of St. Petersburg

Sport Leaders Global Forum is an excellent platform for meeting business and sports.

It is wonderful that such platform arose in my native city, St. Petersburg. Russian business does not always analyze all benefits of cooperation with sports and sports organizations. It is always pleasant to see domestic cases and joint projects even if the world practice shows how perspective this direction is. The forum also provides an opportunity to get first-hand information. I was pleased to participate in the launch of the forum in 2017. It’s great that this story becomes annual as planned.

Alexander Kerzhakov

Russian football player, forward. Honored Master of Sports of Russia and the best scorer in the history of Russian football. Ambassador of St. Petersburg at the World Cup 2018

Global Forum is a very high quality and interesting event.

I am happy that this kind of forum appeared in St. Petersburg. And I was glad to take part on it as a speaker. We were lack of such forum in St. Petersburg. I am looking forward to the Sport Leaders Global Forum 2018.

Regional representative of the League of Heroes in St. Petersburg, director of the Half Marathon Zabeg St. Petersburg

The event integrated top management

The event integrated top management of one of the most media but at the same time closed industry of sport and raised two the most actual issues and the strategic moments concerning the interaction of sports to related areas such us business, culture, social sphere. For us as for a major charity project which unites legendary athletes and Olympic sportsmen it was very valuable to interact with people who make the decision and exchange experience, spokesmen who was presented by large companies. I remember the case from FC Lokomotiv, social company FC Zenit, bright and very modern collaborations of entertainment technologies from Rosgosstrakh and especially those projects that concerned charity and participation of athletes, business and opinion leaders in it.

Tatiana Tan,
curator of the charitable project of families of sportsmen «Play and Help»

I was surprised pleasantly by the selection of speakers and the level of organizations of the forum.

I got a lot of useful information for myself and for the development of the team Rugby Club Bars! I am sure that this event should visit everyone who’s work or passion related with the development of sports. This is the first joint international event in St. Petersburg, which was attended by many media personalities from the field of sports. And participants had the opportunity to communicate with them in an almost informal atmosphere!

Maxim Shelephenok,
President of the Rugby Club Bars

This is the first event of this level in St. Petersburg

I got an opportunity to convey to the audience my vision, thoughts, trends and contradictions about the importance of serious attitude to the health especially if you are practicing sports. The development of the sports industry and the popularization of a healthy lifestyle can not go without medical support. These areas should cooperate with each other, both related to caring for a person, improving their well-being and prolonging life. Doctors of our clinic have extensive experience in this area.

Amazing people shared their experience here and I met the leaders of major successful projects such as Vladimir Voloshin, Ilya Dybov, Vasily Smolny and Artem Shevchuk. First of all events of this level are an opportunity for interaction between leaders and a possibility of creating a joint common content and emotional field. This is a business platform for communication of representatives of sports and business, for searching for new ideas for cooperation or investment. And moreover it is simply inspiring acquaintances with successful people. The format of the event allowed to choose communication with different speakers at different venues.

St. Petersburg is developing actively and the modern infrastructure of the city allows you to hold events at a very high level, that attracts interesting speakers and new partners. The Sport Leader Global Forum team contributes to the development of our city as a platform for active business interaction in the field of sports on the international level.

I want to point out the excellent organizational level of the event, the hight quality of networking: everything is clearly, well-thought-out, everything is organized with care of participants.
