Partnering for Success
|
| Los
Angeles, CA – August 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / As the organizers of
the TEAMS Conference & Expo,
the world’s leading conference and expo for the sports-event industry,
we work hard to provide valuable content and business development opportunities.
At TEAMS, we strive to create a unique experience by off ering specialized,
sports-specifi c programming that features the best assembly of sports-industry
thought leaders available anywhere, along with a variety of networking
opportunities that allow attendees to create, cultivate and deepen lasting
business relationships.
|  Another
way TEAMS provides attendees with the essential tools for success is through
the relationships and partnerships we have formed over the years, whether
it’s with sports organizations, destination marketing organizations or
event suppliers. We are pleased to announce, for example, a 10-year extension
of support for TEAMS from SMG, the worldwide leader of public assembly
facility management. The new agreement, which will run through TEAMS ’25,
is one of SMG’s largest corporate sponsorships in the meetings industry.
The partnership will provide an ongoing, fully integrated media presence
for SMG-managed venues through SportsTravel and TEAMS. When the
new agreement concludes, SMG will have been a sponsor of the TEAMS Conference
for 21 consecutive years.
Of course, SMG has been more than a sponsor of TEAMS. SMG has also been our trusted partner when TEAMS has been held at facilities SMG manages. Cobo Center in Detroit, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh and the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City are among the SMG-managed venues where TEAMS has been staged in the past. SMG-managed venues from around the country that will be joining us at TEAMS ’16 include the Albany Capital Center, DeVos Place Convention Center, Greater Columbus Convention Center, Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, Pennsylvania Convention Center and Tucson Convention Center. We are also pleased to announce a new partnership with Running USA, the leading trade organization for the running industry. Running USA has long been dedicated to advancing the growth and success of the running industry, and has partnered with TEAMS so that its members who plan running events will have the opportunity to learn from the wider sports-event industry at preferential registration rates. Running USA is led by a visionary CEO, Rich Harshbarger, who’s helped propel the growth of his organization and the running industry. We’re pleased that Rich will also serve as a presenter at TEAMS ’16 and participate in the one-on-one appointment sessions at the TEAMS Expo. From a long-standing partner such as SMG to a newly minted one such as Running USA, the common denominator is creating value. TEAMS ’16, September 26–29, in Atlantic City, will feature six tracks of programming devoted to technology, event operations, host cities, sponsorship, law and ethics and a by-invitation-only track for sports-organization CEOs.
