Participants will also gain insight into the best practices adopted by the American major leagues such as the NFL, NBA and MLB. Throughout the two days, group work and discussions will challenge the existing ideas of sustainability in sport, with a particular focus on the business case for sustainability while simultaneously addressing the demands of multiple stakeholders.
