The International Sports Convention, the leading event for the sports business, and Northstar Travel Group’s TEAMS Europe Conference will collaborate for the 2025 edition of ISC, offering enhanced educational, business and networking opportunities to each other’s communities.

Both events will take place from 19-20 March 2025 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London’s newest state-of-the-art sports and entertainment venue.

Founded in 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland, ISC attracts over 1,000 delegates and organizes its conference program around five main pillars – Broadcast/Media, Fan Engagement/Digital, Brands/Sponsorship, Integrity/Governance and Events/Tourism.

The addition of TEAMS Europe will further enhance ISC’s programming around the growing sports-related travel business, as TEAMS Europe is an offshoot of Northstar’s TEAMS Conference and Expo, the world’s largest gathering for professionals involved in the production and management of sports events, including event organizers and the destinations and suppliers that support them. Now in its 26th year, TEAMS Conference and Expo is managed by Northstar Meetings Group, a division of Northstar Travel Group.

In addition to its focus on sporting events and tourism, TEAMS Europe will offer its typical face-to-face business networking sessions and enable event rights holders to have selected meetings with destinations and service providers who can uniquely support them.

“We are delighted that TEAMS Europe will be held together with the International Sports Convention next year,” said Nigel FletcherManaging Director of the ISC. “It is an exciting time in the B2B sector of sporting events, with more and more private organisations and brands developing leagues, events and competitions, while the traditional sporting associations and competition organisers are running more events. This collaboration will ensure that delegates have more opportunities and benefits in the ISC sporting events, hosting and tourism sectors.”

“Sporting events are one of the fastest growing sectors of the international travel industry,” said Jason GewirtzVice President, Managing Editor and Publisher of the Sports Division of Northstar Meetings Group. “The TEAMS brand was built on the foundation of the personal sports experience and encompasses more than just the game itself. With its expanded focus on the business of sports, ISC is the perfect partner to grow our TEAMS Europe event in 2025.”

Both ISC and TEAMS Europe will open their registration platforms shortly. Attendees of each conference will then have access to both events, including all content sessions. Rights holders to qualified events will be hosted by Northstar, on the condition that they attend a minimum number of business meetings during the conference.
