Participant list released!
SPORTEL is going back to Asia, in the brand-new destination of Bali, Indonesia, from 23 to 24 February 2023. In the outstanding setting of the entirely privatized Grand Hyatt Bali, this 2-day international sports market and summit will provide the SPORTEL Community the opportunity to reconnect and do business with major sports business leaders from the APAC market.
Indonesia was a strategic choice to host this new SPORTEL Rendez-vous, after four years of absence in Asia (last edition held in 2019 in Macau). As the fourth largest population and one of the fastest growing economies, the interest in sports and technology in Indonesia is immense. In addition, the APAC Market is in rapid expansion with US$ 49,2 Billion OTT total revenues in 2022 and its sports media revenues will continue to grow by 6% in the next 5 years.
Always looking forward to best meet its clients’ needs, SPORTEL has created special products designed to increase visibility thanks to the numerous exhibit and sponsorship options available. The floor plan has also been tailored on one level to maximize traffic as well as networking & business opportunities.
Six weeks before the event kick-off, many key rights holders and broadcasters as well as new and creative sports industry players from Asia and Oceania (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union, CAA eleven, CJ ENM, Cubmu, Culver Max Entertainment, EMTEK, Enveu, Football Marketing Asia, Fox Sports, Ideal Systems, IEG, IMG, Infront Pan-Asia, MediaPro Asia, MNC Paramount, Sport Five Asia, Stan, Vietcontent, Vidio, TransTV, and many more) have already confirmed their participation.
“I’ve always enjoyed coming to SPORTEL events because this is the one place where technology companies, broadcasters and sports federations come together.
