Registration and housing for the 2017 NASC Sports Event Symposium opens on Tuesday, September 6. The 2017 Symposium, scheduled for March 27-30 in Sacramento, CA, marks the 25th anniversary of the only non-profit, 501(c)3 association for the sport tourism industry in the United States. The Symposium features dozens of authentic education sessions, countless networking opportunities, and business development appointments in the NASC Sports Marketplace.
The NASC staff, Board of Directors and Symposium Committee are looking forward to seeing you. By attending, you will learn how to produce measurable ROI, elevate your sports events, and improve the quality of life in your destination.
First Class of NASC Hall of Fame Inductees to Be Recognized in Sacramento
The 2017 schedule includes recognition of the very first class of the NASC Hall of Fame inductees during the opening ceremony. The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to promote the professional management of sporting events and the sport tourism industry as a whole by honoring those individuals who exemplified the values of the NASC in their careers and by acknowledging their legacies to provide guidance for future members of the NASC.
Preliminary Schedule Released
Networking from beginning to end is a critical component of a successful Symposium, so the Symposium Committee has expanded the schedule to include an Opening
AND Closing Party. View the preliminary schedule

Event Owner Travel Assistance Program & 2017 Registration Rates
The committee has also instituted a new qualification process for event owners to attend the Symposium and participate in the NASC Sports Marketplace free of charge. This process, created by representatives from all three (3) member categories and led by John David, CSEE, USA BMX, ensures all Active and Allied members that event owners participating in the marketplace meet a minimum level of criteria established by the committee. Meeting the established criteria allows event owners to receive complimentary Symposium registration as well as travel assistance to Sacramento.
This new qualification process and accompanying travel assistance program prompted the committee to recommend a restructured pricing strategy. The NASC Board of Directors unanimously approved the 2017 price structure at its meeting on July 28, 2016 in Sacramento, CA.
