Dear Colleagues,

We are privileged to thank you in advance for your participation in this unique conference that supports the needs of sports owners and CEO/Presidents from the world’s largest and most prominent sports franchises. The Global Sports Summit is driven by a Governing Body of sports team owners who create an agenda that addresses today's opportunities and challenges faced by our peers, thus delivering on the event promise, "by Owners, for Owners."

Based on the tremendous success of the 2011 Summit, our group is also calling upon senior sports management from around the world to similarly convene and take a deeper dive into best practices at the Global Sports Management Invitational in partnership with Stanford University. Imagine what we can collectively achieve for our industry when sports leaders work together in a spirit of collaboration and partnership. Management will annually meet at the Global Sports Management Invitational in San Francisco, and Owners will build on that success every summer at the Global Sports Summit in Aspen. Together we will truly make a difference in our business, our communities, and our world.

On behalf of our Governing Body, we look forward to meeting you in Aspen.
