Launch of the EDHEC Alumni Sports Business club: join our community of sports professionals

Are you passionate about sport, sporting innovations and talented athletes? EDHEC Alumni is launching the Sports Business club specially for alumni who have professional connections with the world of sport. Whether you are already working in this sector or hope to, this is the club for you!
 

The Sports Business club has four main aims:

1. Bring together the EDHEC community: Clubs, federations, brands, agencies – the club’s mission is to represent the full diversity of those operating in the sports industry.
2. Encourage experience-sharing: A pedagogic approach to nurture discussions and encourage alumni to share their experiences with a view to exploring all aspects of this sector.
3. Develop synergies: Make the most of this group as a networking platform to establish links and develop business opportunities.
4. Promote mutual support: This club will also serve as a place where you can share or find job offers, internships or work/study placements and other opportunities.
    

Initiatives in the Sports Business club:

1. Networking events: Organised on the EDHEC Paris campus so the alumni sports community can get together in person.
2. Roundtable discussions: Online or in situ, addressing inspirational topics (e.g. feedback from the Olympics with the Paris 2024 team).
3. Cross-disciplinary events: Get-togethers in small numbers, training sessions – unique opportunities to establish new links.
4. Representation in the sports industry networks: Involvement in business clubs and networks.
