Ready to Reach the next level?
The Sports Facilities Conference unites mayors, city managers, economic development leaders, municipal officials, CVB executives, and venue operators committed to improving their communities through sports and entertainment.
New this year: the Playmaker Track — a curated forum reserved for the municipal leaders actively shaping the future of their cities through sports, recreation, and public venues.
Only 100 seats. Every person in the room is a mayor, city manager, economic development director, or CVB executive navigating the same challenges — how to fund and develop facilities, structure the right partnerships, and turn public assets into lasting community impact.
