Reputation
Within the sports business sector, SPORTEL is positioned as a long-running specialist gathering for industry dealmaking and networking.34 Its strengths are its niche focus, international attendee base, and role as a convening platform for senior decision-makers.24 A common limitation of event-based brands like SPORTEL is that their value depends heavily on the quality of the attendee mix and the relevance of each yearly program, rather than on a recurring product portfolio.
