Introduction
ASSH 2017 will mark the 40th anniversary of the first Sporting Traditions conference, which was held in Sydney in 1977.
As a supplement to ASSH’s traditional focus on the social and cultural history of sport, ‘The business of sport’ will provide a focus for discussion of private and public sector funding of sport, sponsorship, IT and how sports users engage with new media and social media, women in a male-dominated business, the media as a business stakeholder and the positive and negative outcomes of staging major sporting events, including the 2018 Commonwealth Games, in Australia.
The conference aims are as follows:
1. To attract new presenters, particularly women and students, to the conference
2. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Sporting Traditions.
