Success Stories

For example, brewer Carlsberg spoke about the long-term sponsor relationship with Liverpool FC, Jan de Jong of the Eredivisie CV (Dutch national football league) spoke about media rights, and former technical director of Dutch National Olympic Committee NOC*NSF Maurits Hendriks made the connection with regard to excelling. How can you excel not only in sports, but also in society?

Bob Heere, professor, and director of sports management at the University of North Texas, took attendees on a journey into why fans actually attend an event. The reason lies mainly in social interaction. A valuable lesson for all parties who want to organize an event in the future. Teun Verheij shared his knowledge about organizing the successful Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix.

The congress formed the starting point for how people think about the organization of sporting events in the Netherlands and abroad. The social goal was very important at the Volleyball World Championship, not only for Nevobo, but also for World Volleyball Association FIVB. Peter Sprenger, chairman of Nevobo and director of Techonomy, received perhaps the best compliment from FIVB director Fabio Azevedo: “Nevobo always delivers.”
