The Power of Sport
The ‘Power of Sport’ is the overarching theme for this year’s World Sport & Business Summit conference programme with legendary expert speakers recently announced from the NFL (National Football League). Rob Alberino, Vice President of Media and Marketing at The Kansas City Chiefs has won numerous accolades for his work across the NFL.
“You don’t get too many chances like this one – to be in the room with so many leading lights at the same time,” said Alberino, who can’t wait to get started at a dedicated session during the Summit plenary entitled “Decoding success: lessons from North American Leagues on strategic brand building, revenue prioritisation, and fan loyalty.”
“I’m thrilled to be speaking about the NFL’s emergence into international markets – how we engage our fans and grow our fan base outside of the US. I’m also excited to learn what we can do better.”
