History of the symposia
Since 2006 the International Sport Business Symposium has been organised at different occasions and venues where Olympic scholars travel to and meet. In ancient Greece, the symposium was a key social institution in Hellenic culture and provided a platform for debate and celebration with others. The philosophy of the International Sport Business Symposium also is to offer a platform for discussion and debate at a place where scholars do their research. This is why the symposium is traditionally staged during the Olympic Games as well as other Olympic events.
Thanks to the help and cooperation with partner universities in the respective host cities, we have been able so far to offer participation in the symposium free of charge. Key note speakers are usually high-level executives from the Olympic family, who can provide insights from behind the scenes and who are always receptive to open discussions with scholars and academics. The offer to share such practical knowledge is of course highly appreciated.
The Greek symposium, dated back on 416 B.C., was a key social institution in ancient Hellenic culture and provided a platform for debate and celebration with others. This is also what we are striving for! Since 2006 it has become a tradition that Olympic scholars from all over the world come together for a symposium during the Olympic Games as well as other Olympic events to exchange thoughts, present their Olympic research and have a great time together.

Erhebung der Kundenzufriedenheit im "Deutschen Haus" in Turin/Sestriere 2006
Diesbezüglich wurden stichprobenartig Besucher des Deutschen Hauses während der Winterspiele von Turin befragt. Im Mittelpunkt der Befragung standen eine Bewertung der unterschiedlichen Serviceleistungen sowie die Feststellung der Beweggründe, die von den Gästen für ihren Besuch angeführt wurden. Des weiteren wurden Daten zur Sponsorenwahrnehmung und Finanzierung des Hauses erhoben.
Aus den Ergebnissen wurden schließlich Vorschläge abgeleitet, wie zukünftige Deutsche Häuser von den Besuchern noch positiver empfunden werden können, indem Stärken und Schwächen erfasst und deren Einfluss auf die generelle Bewertung des Deutschen Hauses durch die Gäste berechnet wurden.
Eine kurze Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse, veröffentlicht von Holger Preuß, Kai Gemeinder und Sebastian Jochum im Partner Magazin der Deutschen Sport Marketing (DSM), Ausgabe Mai 2006, befindet sich hier.
Außerdem hat Sebastian Jochum zu diesem Thema seine Diplomarbeit verfasst (siehe Diplomarbeiten).

The Youth Olympic Winter Games is a growing event in youth sports and provides great sporting, social, cultural and environmental opportunities for the host city, region and country. Lillehammer must make some effort to not only fulfill all requirements to stage the YOG, but also maximize the economic, social, environmental, political, and structural benefits that an Youth Olympic Games can offer to the city and country.
Topics covered will address the legacy of Youth Olympic Games, new concepts and development of the YOG and the perception of the Youth on YOG. Additional papers about Olympic Games will be presented.
For a one day event 48 Olympic scholars from 9 nations (NOR, GBR, GER, USA, AUT, TUR, BRA, CAN, FRA) will meet and present 5 key notes, 25 research projects and one practitioner report. They will not only discuss their research but also meet key note speakers such as the Norwegian IOC member Gerald Heiberg and Anders Besseberg, president of the International Biathlon Union but also high executives from the organization of the Games such as Philippe Furrer (IOC senior manager) and the CEO of the YOG Lillehammer Tomas Holmestad. Jens Andersen (CEO Play the Games” will report about the latest research on good governance in sport federations.

Agenda 2020
‘Viva sua paixao‘ – Live your passion! This is the official slogan for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Following this spirit, we would like to welcome you to Rio for the 8th International Sport Business Symposium, organised by Prof. Holger Preuss (Mainz) in cooperation with Prof. Lamartine DaCosta (Rio de Janeiro).
The Olympic Games are the most prestigious sport event in the world and provide extraordinary opportunities in regards to sports, social and cultural life as well as for the environment of the host city, region and country. The host must undertake tremendous efforts to not only fulfil the requirements for staging the Games, but also to maximize the economic, social, environmental, political, and structural benefits which come along with the event. This demand is underpinned in the IOC’s Agenda 2020.

Winter Games and Legacy
“Passion. Connected." This is the official slogan for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang. “Passion” represents Pyeongchang’s role as the venue for a global festival in 2018, where people will experience the excitement of the Olympic spirit, while enjoying the warm hospitality of Koreans and sharing inspiring stories. “Connected”, meanwhile, signifies the openness of the host city, where every generation can participate in the Games – no matter where they are – thanks to Korea’s cutting-edge technology and cultural convergence. It also represents a new beginning and the opening of ‘New Horizons’ for winter sports in Asia.
