FINANCE IN SPORT
MARCH 2019
The demands of athletes, expectations of audiences and
the requirements of broadcasters and sponsors mean it
can be exceptionally challenging for sports clubs to operate
with a financial surplus. Even with vast sums in sponsorship
and TV revenue, most sports clubs struggle to make a profit
and those that do have to manage uneven cash flows and
unpredictable revenues.
Finance in Sport brings together 120+ Owners, Club
Secretary’s and Board-Level Directors and Finance Directors
from Federations, Sports Clubs & Player Agencies. They
open up about the financial challenges they face and seek
solutions to funding stadium projects, balancing commercial
priorities, launching a successful tour, working within Financial
Fair Play regulations, managing bond issues, tax planning and
working with athlete image rights.
With expert industry speakers, regulators and trusted
professional advisors, the event is a valuable learning and
networking opportunity for senior finance professionals from
across the sporting spectrum. With collective responsibility
for the very biggest commercial organisations in sport, they
are also an exceptionally valuable audience to meet and
network with.

BEHIND THE
SCENES AWARDS
MAY 2019
Sport is a results business, and when those results go well
for the athletes, the accolades are quick to come. But what
about for those who work tirelessly away from the limelight
ensuring stars are managed, supported, safeguarded and
advised correctly? Their work has a huge influence on a
sportsman or woman’s success but is often completely
overlooked or taken for granted by media and fans alike.
The Behind The Scenes awards flips the script by
recognising and rewarding the unsung heroes of sport
who work away from the pubic gaze at elite-level sports
clubs, youth academies, federations and agencies. It seeks
out those who otherwise might go unnoticed, celebrates
their achievements and pays tribute to their hard work,
commitment and good grace.
Winning the Behind The Scenes awards is highly prized
by the winners and their clubs and organisations who take
to social media to celebrate. But as well as a big boost to
the winners, the awards are an important recognition of
the work of the entire army of people whose work makes a
difference every day.

PREMIER SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY 2019 10TALENT CARE
CONFERENCE
SEPTEMBER 2019
Those advising and managing the careers of
popular entertainers and celebrities face a unique
set of challenges. Their clients can be demanding,
unpredictable but also vulnerable.
The fallout from the Harvey Weinstein scandal is
but one of the issues they have to deal with as they
advise on financial planning, pick up the pieces of
addiction and poor mental health and steer their
clients through the constantly-changing world of
social media networks.
With agents working with some of the industry’s
top talent in theatre, music, TV, film and social
media, our Talent Care conference, the only one
of its kind, attracts an unrivalled gathering of
industry professionals. This exclusive learning and
networking event provides an excellent chance for
professional development and contact making.
PREMIER SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY 2019 11TALENT CARE
CONFERENCE
SEPTEMBER 2019
“Managing Artists and Performers is a
challenge, however at InterTalent, we try our
best in guiding them in the right way. I’ve been
in the business of entertainment for over 25
years, but I’m always happy to learn, which is
why I wanted to attend the inaugural Talent
Care event”
Professor Jonathan Shalit, CEO, InterTalent Rights Group
“Having a forum with Artist Managers, Publicists
and other individuals who are connected to
entertainers is extremely important as living in
the limelight can be a lonely place at times.”
Jordan Stephens, Artist, Rizzle Kicks
“I was propelled into the limelight at a very
young age as my father was one of the
greatest footballers of all time. Attending
Premier Entertainment Network’s Talent Care
event and hearing from the entertainment
industry on what support is being provided has
been a great chance to share ideas”
Calum Best, TV Personality

PLAYER CARE
CONFERENCE
NOVEMBER 2019
Player Care has become a growth industry
in recent years as clubs and sports agencies
recognise the value and importance of
supporting their stars. From concierge
services to trusted advisors, player liaison
officers and agents are often gatekeepers to
the top names in sport with a brief spanning
financial, legal and commercial advice, property
and other major purchases, arrangements for
education and much more besides.
In recent years, their role has expanded to take in
support during injury and periods of mental health
challenges to problem gambling and addictions.
Our International Player Care conference provides
valuable help to this unique community who see
the world of sport from a very different perspective.
13“WBC is heavily
proactive in
wanting to support
the next generation
of boxers and
having a forum to
share ideas openly
is something I’ve
never heard of
before, which I was
only delighted to
support.”

PLAYER CARE
CONFERENCE
NOVEMBER 2019
The work behind-the-scenes of our Player Care
network, whether that be helping their athletes
relocate, manage their finances or when travelling
is the perfect fit to provide a platform to share
methods, educate and prioritise in learning new
ways of supporting professional athletes across
a spectrum of different sports. As with all our
events, the emphasis on networking is a key
benefit to our community and a key component to
those that support them.
PREMIER SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY 2019 15“Manchester United
FC believes heavily
in Player Care, and
having an event like
the International
Player Care event is
the perfect way to
share ideas of how
to help professional
athletes avoid
certain pitfalls away
from the pitch.”

PREMIER SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY 2019MEDIA COVERAGE
The discrete nature of our conferences suggests
media could be an unwelcome intrusion, but
such is the profile of our speakers and delegates
and the interest in the topics they discuss that
media interest in high. The Premier Sports
and Entertainment Network sets up press
conferences and provides limited access to
camera crews to feed their appetite and gain
coverage for our event partners too.
Our most recent event was a magnet for
journalists from the nationals and TV networks
and our conferences have been covered by
Sky Sport, the BBC, The Guardian, the Daily
Mirror and many other media outlets as well
as generating significant traction on social
channels. Our combination of live events, our
own publication and press and media interest
give us a reach which is unrivalled by any other
professional network in sport and brings benefits
to our events, our participants and our partners.

PREMIER SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY 2019 20GOLF EVENTS
Nothing beats the opportunity to leave the office and spend a couple of days outside in the company of
likeminded individuals. First run in 2017, our golf events, in partnership with St Andrews Old Course, have quickly
become hugely popular calendar fixtures. Complete with hospitality, a variety of courses and formats and, of
course, a trophy ceremony for the winners, they are also an opportunity to build lifelong relationships with leaders
in the sports industry.
For the very limited number of partners involved, the chance to cement a contact which is personal as well as
professional is one that goes way beyond what any number of business meetings can deliver. A conducive
environment, a convivial atmosphere and one of the best golf courses in the world are an unbeatable combination.
PREMIER SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY 2019 21BECOMING A
PARTNER
The Premier Sports and Entertainment Network works
exceptionally hard to ensure that our partners gain the most
benefit from what we offer. Our delegates know they are there
courtesy of our sponsors and are very open to learning more
about the relevant services they provide. As well as exhibition
and dedicated networking time, our partners can access these
valuable extra benefits:
• Year-long reach across all our platforms – events, merchandise,
branding, website, email communications, awards and magazine
• Personal introductions to members of the network
• Pre-conference dinner with speakers
• Chance to express a duty of care through association with the
Behind The Scenes awards
• Platform to share messages at our live events and through the
On The Front Foot magazine
• Opportunity to communicate directly with the network through
e-shots
