The Conference
FUTURE OF FOOTBALL BUSINESS is the conference for digitization, innovation and future topics in football business. International experts in their fields will provide insights into topics such as fan engagement, modern infrastructure, new monetisation possibilities, internationalisation, the use of data and many other hot topics in the football business. Experts from clubs and economy present their best practices or learnings and discuss how to handle those changes and to use emerging opportunities. Masterclasses dive deeper into selected topics such as change management, online marketing or sponsoring. This year, an additional focus will be on startups from the football business ecosystem. We give them a stage to present themselves - and clubs and companies the opportunity to deal with new ideas.

Football Innovation Award

The Football Innovation Award will be presented for the first time at the FUTURE OF FOOTBALL BUSINESS-Conference 2019 in three categories – “Innovative Startup”, “Innovative Club” and “Innovative Sponsorship”.
