Australasian Leisure Management is delighted to announce that it has been appointed an official Media Partner to Sport Is Fantastic 09; the international sponsorship and sport marketing conference being held at Melbourne's Etihad Stadium on 1st and 2nd June 2009.

These names follow on from the 2008 Sport is Fantastic conference in Sydney, where there were keynote speakers from the legendary Green Bay Packers, the Miami Heat, FIFA and from the J-Leagueâs Urawa Reds.
Bringing global experts down to Australia is a deliberate strategy by Sport is Fantastic 09 organiser, the Sport Research Group. The consultancy's Chief Executive, Simon Arkwright said sponsors, sport franchise and governing bodies all strive for best practice and to learn from the worldâs best. Arkwright's ability to build such a quality program is a result of contacts that he has built up in the US and UK through a range of sporting marketing projects over the last 10 years.
