During five months we were in charge of the organization of a Business Summit at IE Business School.
This Summit has been divided into two events where we presented the industry nowadays and where it is leading to in the short term.
■ The Football Industry Nowadays. We gathered Luis Vicente from Valencia CF, Oscar Guerra from Nike and Fernando Martin from Zuqium
■ The Future of the Sports Industry. We gathered Oscar Peña from Intel & Anderground, Christian Mauriand from iRewind and Asier Arranz from Perception HUB
Thanks to this events, we gathered 200 attendees and we encouraged networking between IE students and other Business Schools and some companies here in Madrid.

The Sports Business Summit
would not have been a success
without the great attendance and
involvement of the audience in
both events.
We put a lot of effort into
contacting interesting
and successful speak-
ers and choosing
the right topics they
would discuss with
the audience. We
wanted to gather the
best professionals in re-
lation with the most relevant
topics going on in the industry
nowadays.
In the end we came up with some
of the subjects that we believe are
key in the sports industry nowa-
days: sponsorships, club manage-
ment, licensing, sports agents,
entrepreneurship, eSports and
disruptive technologies.
We are happy with the results of
the Sports Business Summit, as:
We gathered great speakers from
international companies.
We got to know new
people from our
masters, companies
and other business
schools
We succeeded in
terms of attendance,
reaching +150 people.
Moreover, we are happy with
all that we have learnt from our
guests.
In conclusion, thanks to all of you,
we are proud of being the first
team ever at IE Business School
in organizing such a huge event
related with sports

The Football Industry
Nowadays
On April 23rd, we gathered professionals from some of the most influential
companies worldwide in order to share their insights about how the football
industry is being ruled nowadays
As football is the main sport worldwide
,and specially in Spain, we chose it as the
reference point for understanding the sit-
uation of the sports industry.
Our goal was to cover three key areas in
football: clubs, companies and agents.
Firstly, we got Luis Vicente. Current
Chief Marketing & Commercial Officer
of Valencia CF, ex Head of Partnerships
at Manchester City and ex Fifa agent.
He shared his insights about the football
industry and the changes he had faced
since his career began.
Secondly, we got Fernando Martín.
Current CEO of Zuqium. He showed us
the method they follow when valuating
players and deciding their value in euros.
This tool is highly valuated by football
clubs at the time of making certain deci-
sions over their current or future players.
Finally, we got Oscar Guerra.
Current Financial Manager at Nike EMEA
and ex Business Manager at F.A. He
shared his career experience moving from
Analyst in a consulting firm to Nike, a
Sports Company, as well as how the clubs
licenses are managed.

side of actual sports. There are
teams acquisitions, talent net-
works or intermediaries.

ing players as well as to how to
invest their money
