SportX Sponsorship Academy: Press Release
South African-based agency, Gerom Media, Sports & Entertainment (Pty) has launched the SportX Sponsorship Academy which is a series of in-class events to upskill the proposal drafting and negotiating skills of rightsholders seeking commercial partnerships for their entities or events.
The Academy is poised to revolutionize the education of sports sponsorship and will attract sponsorship thought leaders from around the world, sharing their expertise with sports administrators and executives alike.
The Academy’s primary goal is to provide sports stakeholders with a unique learning platform by interacting with international experts and gaining invaluable insights into the latest sponsorship strategies, fostering growth and innovation in the sports industry.
According to Gerrit Davids, CEO of the organising company, which has been staging sponsorship conferences in South Africa since 2012, “The Academy promotes best practices and building global partnerships, and aims to elevate the sports landscape, unlocking commercial opportunities and attracting investments.”
“The SportX Sponsorship Academy presents an unparalleled educational opportunity to shape the future of sports sponsorship with long-term benefits for the sports sector.”
“The Academy will not only boost local expertise but will also promote sustainable sports development, driving innovation, investment, and commercial growth in the sports industry”, said Davids.
Delegates will be nominated by their respective entities and be awarded bursaries to attend any Academy edition of their choice but it will not cover travel and accommodation costs respectively.
An onsite multi-choice open book intermediary certificate examination will also be undertaken by the delegates with the advanced certificate examination done online after attending the Academy.
The first SportX Sponsorship Academy is planned for 1 February 2025 in Johannesburg, a day before the SportX Sponsorship Forum, which in itself is happening on the same day as the Soweto Soccer Derby.
Additional editions and locations will be announced in due course.
