On July 7-9, 2009 in conjunction with the Eurobasket
Summer League (ESL) the first ever major global
basketball conference will be held at the prestigious
Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
In every major sport on a global basis like football
(soccer), rugby and tennis there are seminars, conferences and expos where all of the major
associations, federations, delegates and governing bodies
meet and discuss a variety of issues surrounding their
sport.
These seminars offer business networking opportunities
for administrators, executives, coaches, sponsors,
exhibitors, vendors, agents, players and general
managers in their particular sport.
Television rights, sponsorship strategies, players
transfer rights and a variety of other topics are addressed in
these seminars.
Basketball is one of the most intriguing sports on a
global basis and there is a need for the major bodies
(NBA, FIBA, ULEB, NCAA, NABC, WNBA, NBPA and the many
other federations around the world) to meet and
examine the issues regarding the expanding international
market.
The global basketball market has many issues to examine
like foreign athletes playing in the NCAA, FIBA
agent regulations, international television and
broadcasting rights, an expanding Asian market, differences in
the international game, increasing player buyouts with
European teams, the emergence of basketball
academies for European youth, sponsorship issues,
international coaching and certifications, the effect of
basketball globalization, international tour
opportunities, the emergence of the middle east market,
sponsorship opportunities, understanding the
infrastructure of European basketball, legal rights in the
international market, lack of international player
associations, the international market for women and a
variety of other topics surrounding the global
basketball market.
In addition there will be seminars for new professional
players adjusting to the international market, agents
developing their business to the global market and
coaching seminars identifying differences in the
international, major college and NBA game.
