Leaders Club

Sports Business Journal and Leaders in Sport launched the Leaders Club after many years of being approached to do more to develop future industry leaders.​

Leaders Club is the home for the future leaders in the sports industry. Members accelerate their careers and drive business results by developing career-critical relationships, knowledge, and skills through accredited private workshops and events, curated networking experiences, and exclusive access to insights from experts inside and outside of sport. ​

Who’s It For?
