10th SPORT BUSINESS POLAND CONGRESS

21-22 October 2025, Warsaw

00 Days : 00 Hours : 00 Minutes : 00 Seconds

Dear Delegates,

Krzysztof Kropielnicki

Chairman of Sport Business Poland Association

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to take part in the jubilee 10th edition of the Sport Business Poland Congress. For us as an Association, this is a truly special moment – a symbolic summary of five years of intensive work, community building, and joint development of the sports and sports business market in Poland.

When we started the Association, our goal was to create a space for meetings and the exchange of experience between representatives of sport, business, and public institutions. We wanted to shape the future of the industry together. Today, I can proudly say that the Congress has become the most important forum for discussion and integration of the entire community. I believe that this anniversary edition will be the best confirmation of that.

On October 21–22, 2025, we will meet in Warsaw not only to discuss the key challenges and trends, but also to reflect on the journey we have taken together. There will also be time for integration – the Industry Evening will allow us to celebrate this anniversary in the company of those who contribute to the strength and significance of the SBP Association.

The 10th Sport Business Poland Congress is a celebration of the industry in a new dimension. I believe that together we will create an event that will remain long in our memory and serve as an inspiration for the future.

I warmly invite you to join us and co-create this unique gathering!
