Sport Industry Group

The Sport Industry Group is a networking organisation that sits at the heart of sport and is the organiser of the Virgin Active Sport Industry Awards.

Through editorial content and a series of events analysing the business, the Sport Industry Group looks to scrutinise the bad and celebrate best, helping set the agenda for the world’s most dynamic industry.

The Virgin Active Sport Industry Awards recognise and reward the best the sport business has to offer in marketing, PR, sponsorship, new media, publishing, advertising and design. To the attendees it is also the most important networking occasion in the sport business calendar.

The inaugural Virgin Active Sport Industry Awards in South Africa will take place on February 17th, 2011 in the City of Ekurhuleni.
