Sport Matters is excited to be hosting a forum on ‘Impact Investing and Sport’ in Brisbane next week! 
CEO Jackie Lauff joined the first International Symposium on this topic in Milan in Italy last year, and will be welcoming partners from Italy to Brisbane for this event, looking to bring this conversation to the Oceania region to stimulate innovation and strategic action.
Impact Investment in sport refers to the intentional placement of capital into sports initiatives that generate measurable social and environmental outcomes, alongside a financial return, in application of SDG17.
Guest speakers from PNG, New Zealand, USA, Brazil and Australia, will be discussing latest research along with case studies, new collaborations on social return on investment, major sport event legacy, public-private partnerships, social and gender investment models that use sport to drive systemic change, philanthropy and sport-based approaches to advance social, environmental and economic impact.
This is an In-person ONLY event!
WHEN: Monday 24 & Tues 25 November
WHERE: The Precinct in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.
There will also be a roundtable session on Measuring Impact in and through Sport on Monday 24th November from 2pm to 5pm.
Join us to stimulate innovation in the sport and social impact space!
