Conference History

In 1993 the first edition of the European Sport Management Conference took place in Groningen, The Netherlands. Back then academics and professionals came together to discuss and share current topics and to present lates research findings in the field of Sport Management.

 

Apart from an excellent academic program, the conference also developed activities for students in order to strenghten the abilities and competences of future sport management scholars. A student seminar for Bachelor and Master students and a PhD student seminar are now an integral part of each annual conference.
