I ran a listing of prominent sports related business conferences a few months back so I thought it was time to revisit some of the ones coming up that you may consider attending at the end of 2009 or to plan for 2010.  This is by no means a complete list.  However, we all know this business is about connections and what a better place to improve your rolodex by visiting, learning and networking at one of these seminars.

One of the first conferences on the schedule is one in the next week.  On November 12 & 13, the SportsBusiness Journal, SportsBusiness Daily and the Fantasy Sports Association will host the 11th annual FSA Sports Media & Technology (SMT) conference at the Marriott Marquis.

For the first time in its ten-year history, the Motorsports Marketing Forum (MMF) will be headed west!  MMF will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 1 & 2 at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. 10th Annual Motorsports Marketing Forum

On December 9 and 10, during New York City’s College Week, SportsBusiness Journal, SportsBusiness Daily and strategic partner IMG, will host the eighth annual IMG Intercollegiate Athletics

For sponsorship executives, one of the best conferences around is the IEG Sponsorship conference,  held in Chicago.  In 2010, it is scheduled for March 21-24, 2010 and if you register by January 31, 2010, you can save $200.  From Sunday through Wednesday you will be immersed in what’s-next strategies for building brands and profits while enhancing lives and communities.

In 2009, the $10 billion premium seat marketplace has undergone a profound change.  Those who know the new rules will rule.  The 20th Annual Association of Luxury Suite Directors (ALSD) Conference and Tradeshow is scheduled to take place from June 27-30, 2010 in New York City.
