Business of Sport Summit
Major Events International (MEI) hosts its 5th annual Major Events Summit bringing together the most influential stakeholders from past, current and future Games & host organisations and key commercial
suppliers involved in major sports events to knowledge share and collaborate.
Major themes include:

Safety & Security
This highly interactive - "non-conference" format gives all participants the option to contribute. The two-day event consists of workshops, panels and round table discussions. Games organisers outline plans and opportunities while suppliers share experiences and lessons learned.
The Awards Dinner recognises the success of members in the most iconic market globally; in an informal environment which is another opportunity to network with, invite or host key contacts.
The Summit is limited to 95 commercial company attendees, with priority to MEI members - prospective members can request an invitation to attend.
This year we exceeded our limit!

ABOUT THE 2019 SUMMIT
We are delighted that Villa Park has been chosen as the host venue for the 2019 Major Sports Events Summit run each June by MEI. Following successful previous Editions on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and as a contributor to the International Business Festival in Liverpool in 2018, the most attractive City to host the 2019 Summit is Birmingham. Hosting the Commonwealth Games 2022 and with Rugby League World Cup 2021 planning in full mobilisation, it was a natural choice for International past, current and future Games hosts to meet expert suppliers and gain a better understanding of lessons learned and sharing best practice. We are delighted that the Mayor of West Midlands Andy Street CBE will welcome the VIPs at a reception on 25th June and open the Summit on the 26th June. To get a feel for last years Summit watch this video.
