Global Hub
Toronto
Crowned Major League Soccer champions in 2017, Toronto FC are based at Canada’s national soccer stadium, BMO Field, and are owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE).
A world leading organisation in sports technology, GIS students will learn from MLSE’s unique business that runs successful venue and multi-sport franchise operations. Our Canadian summits will also access MLSE’s stunning Scotiabank Arena, home of the NBA’s Toronto Raptors and the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs.
On campus and online students, as well as alumni, are able to attend the Global Sports Summit event at Toronto FC each year. The summit is based around 4-5 days of specially tailored talks, workshops and visits specific to the Canadian sports industry.
Global Sports Summit
The schedule in Toronto, like the summits at each GIS hub, will be based around four themes:
- From the pitch – hear from those who contribute towards the playing side of sport such as coaches, match analysts and sports scientists;
- From industry – find out more from those who’re responsible for what happens behind the scenes, including marketing managers, agents and media officers;
- From the boardroom – learn about how the big decisions are taken at clubs and organisations from the likes of chief executives and chief finance officers;
- Cultural activities – this will include visits to national landmarks, more of Toronto’s leading stadiums and at least one live sports fixture (subject to fixture lists).
Guest speakers for the summit will be confirmed closer to the event, but attendees will be able to hear from the leaders and key personnel at some of Toronto’s leading sports and clubs including the Toronto FC, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) and Beswicks Sports.
