UKTI Conference to boost business legacy
SAPCA is actively supporting UK Trade & Investment’s (UKTI) Global Sports Projects Con- ference, which takes place on 30-31 January 2013 at the BIS Conference Centre in London. From the construction of the facilities through
to the delivery of the event, all aspects of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games were praised as the greatest Games ever. Admi- ration and respect for UK know-how, innovation and capability to deliver major projects and events is high and the UK is being encouraged to take advantage of this window of opportunity. UKTI is a key stakeholder, supporting the gov- ernment’s objective to deliver a lasting business legacy from hosting the London 2012 Games. With the UK riding the crest of a wave, UKTI is asking British businesses to consider expanding into international markets – particularly those that are hosting major sports events or invest- ing in major sports infrastructure. On 30-31 January 2013 UKTI will host a ma-
jor Global Sports Projects Conference aimed at helping UK companies take this step and gener- ate sales in international markets. The conference will provide the following opportunities to delegates. • Hear from government on the support and advice available for both experienced and in- experienced exporters; • Case-studies from UK companies which have developed successful export strategies – from SMEs to large companies;
UKTI is a key stakeholder in building a legacy from hosting the 2012 Games
• ‘Lessons learned’ from a number of UK companies on the reality of delivering major projects overseas; • Receive face-to-face advice from UKTI com- mercial officers from the host countries/cities of the next six mega sports events; • Presentations from key international stakeholders delivering forthcoming mega events; • Network with UK companies which are
already working on the delivery of major in- ternational sports events. This free-to-attend event is not just for compa-
nies that delivered London 2012 – it will support all UK companies which have the capability and desire to win business around international ma- jor sports events or sports facility investment programmes. For further details please contact Parminder Sunda at

SAPCA show a success
More than 300 people visited the impressive Lee Valley Athletics Centre in north London last month, to attend SAPCA’s Sports Facil- ity Show. A full programme of seminars and workshops was chaired by David Moorcroft, OBE, who opened the event with an insight into the planned delivery of the post-London 2012 sporting legacy. A wide range of topics was covered, all designed to assist grassroots sports venues in developing their facilities, from sources of project funding and the selection of surfaces through to project management and on-going maintenance and service. Copies of all the presentations from the
event are available to view in the Techni- cal Guidance section of the SAPCA website:
