Welcome to Madrid

is with great pleasure, pride and high personal motivation that I introduce you to the 19th Conference of the European Association for Sport Management which will take place this year in the vibrant city of Madrid.

One of the most beautiful, enriching and motivating activities of people is the capacity to relate to others, when affection flows spontaneously.
Commitment with life, family, friends and, of course, with work and personal projects, produce an excellent combination of professional and human development. This is why we feel identified with the theme of our Conference “Commitment in Sport Management”.

If we were to take a fair photo of sports in its widest aspects, I believe that Sport Management, as a discipline, would be amongst the most interesting, attractive and consistentlygrowing in present times. For all the above, I invite all the academics and professionals of our sector to continue their valuable research and education with a view to introduce themselves and their work to a new open market such as Madrid.

We have ahead of us a year to communicate before we all meet next September 2011. We will be feeding you with new data on the different events, meetings and presentations that will be accessible to you at the Conference. Our talented team is designing a special event where all delegates can feel exclusive and where the excellence will be a key element to make it a memorable experience.

I am convinced that it is more and more necessary to create permanent conferences to help participants in their continuing search for excellence and success.

I am looking forward to shake hands with all of you.
