Unofficial Partner Live

We do two types of live event: Small private invite-only networking evenings and big, ticketed live sessions.

The Unofficial Partner Brainstorm is our premium event brand.

We invite smart people to solve a problem, live on stage.

The result is an evening of high quality and entertaining thought leadership where a mix of guests from inside and outside of sport discuss the big questions.

The audience consists of approximately 100-150 paying customers and VIP guests.

The evening is recorded, edited and subsequently published as an Unofficial Partner podcast. 

The tone is informal and, whisper it, fun.

Bespoke micro-events
