Everyone is getting ready to go for the 2010 National Sports Forum to be held in Baltimore on February 1-3, 2010. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Forum! Thanks to all our sponsors, hosts, attendees, and exhibitors who have been with us through the years and this year as we prepare for Baltimore!

With assistance from the Baltimore Ravens, the official host of the 2010 National Sports Forum, the annual NSF trade show and conference is rounding into form. Business will be getting done this coming February as the sports industry descends on Baltimore. The industry is already asking for details surrounding the 15th National Sports Forum so here’s a sneak peak at some of the pieces that are in place for 2010 attendees…


Keynote Speakers:  Continuing with tradition, the Forum will showcase keynote presentations from top sports executives in the industry. This year we are please to announce Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti will be your 2010 Budweiser Gala keynote speaker.

We are in the process of finalizing our other keynote speaker slots with major industry leaders. From the discussion we’ve had so far, we are excited and hopeful that we will provide you with outstanding keynote speakers for Baltimore.


The 2010 Budweiser Gala: The Baltimore Ravens, official host of the 2010 NSF, will also be hosting the 2010 Budweiser Gala on Tuesday evening, February 2, 2010 at their beautiful venue M&T Bank Stadium. Beginning with facility tours, followed by dinner and keynote presentation from Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, this will certainly be an event you won’t want to miss!


“Behind the Scenes” Tours: One of the traditions experienced by NSF attendees is the exclusive “Behind the Scenes” tours of sporting venues in the host city. Without question, Baltimore will offer top notch tours as it is home to world-renowned stadiums and arenas. We’re close to finalizing our Wednesday venue… we’ll keep you updated throughout the summer!


Panel Discussion:  We’re bring back our three super panel sensations for Baltimore 2010: “And Now a Word From our Sponsors…” presented by Daktronics, Banshee Music’s “The Blending of Sports & Entertainment” panel and “A View from the Top” panel. Last year, these super panels were full of great discussion points and we’re looking forward to another great round of exclusive content and insight.

The 2010 NSF will also have a fourth super panel titled “Leadership in the New Economy”.  There have been preliminary discussions about the individuals who may end up on the panel and from the names being mentioned, the newest super panel is shaping up to be a hit!


Breakout Sessions: The 2010 NSF Steering Committee is currently in the process of selecting speakers and breakout session topics for Baltimore. Please stay tuned to developments by visiting our website at www.sports-forum.com/2010nsf/agenda.


Trade Show:  This year we have a more intimate and condensed trade show area, but we have just as many exhibitor booths for 2010 as we did in 2009!  The trade show area is literally steps from the main general session ballroom. We plan to have the following trade show sessions: two lunch sessions (Monday & Tuesday), Monday evening at the Trade Show and the late morning session before noon on Wednesday.  We hope you will benefit from this year’s trade show layout and as a vendor you’ll receive a great return on your experience staying in front of the industry at the Forum in Baltimore.
