Soccerex London Forum Learn, Network & Do Business

"I think the networking opportunities here are phenomenal. I have been really interested in how the event has developed to be a discussion forum, more than a head-on presentation forum, but more than anything the networking opportunities are phenomenal. It is a very intensive day, but a very exciting day."
Johan Jervoe, Corporate Vice President, Global Marketing, McDonalds
"I find it fantastic in the sense that you can do a month's work in a day here. It saves me so much time in terms of travel, phone calls, pinning people down: everybody in one place at the one time, that's been the big benefit for me."
Graham Bartlett, Head of Business Affairs & Licensing, UEFA
