Marketing Institute Ireland (MII) and John Trainor’s agency Onside will again combine to host the sixth ‘Who Won Sponsorship?’ series later this month. Spend on sponsorship in Ireland this year is expected to amount to €182 million. The event will explore the summer’s UEFA Euros, the Olympics and Paralympic Games, with learnings from stakeholders.

Paul Dermody, CEO, HRI Racecourses & Marketing and Jo Harrington, head of marketing partnerships, Live Nation Ireland, will share perspectives on sport and the arts.
Pasi Lankinen, previous partnerships strategist for FC Barcelona and current advisor to Manchester City, will talk about the changing landscape and future of the sponsor/rights holder relationship, how they anticipate adapting to meet the altered expectations of fans to enhance engagement and what the future of live events might look like post-Covid.
