The Scientific and Programme Committee of 28th European Sport Management Virtual Conference of the European Association for Sport Management (EASM) invites scholars and practitioners to submit abstracts to be considered for presentation.

Reviewers contributing to assessing and progressing colleagues’ work in an excellent manner as part of the peer-review process will be awarded with the EASM Best Conference Reviewer Award 2020.
The European Sport Management Virtual Conference is the first of its ind and similarly to our regular conferences contributors have the opportunity to present in Parallel Sessions and Workshops during the conference.
The main aim of all conference sessions is to encourage participants from across fields to share knowledge, provide new insights and inspire the future of sport management. Sessions also offer a platform to create inter- and cross-disciplinary contacts and collaborations.
