SPORTEL Monaco Postponed

Monaco, 12 January 2021

SPORTEL events’ 2021 calendar

As the resurgence of the pandemic continues, leaving uncertainty for the coming months,

Monaco Mediax, has taken the decision to not pursue the organization of SPORTEL Winter,

due to be held in Monaco from 22-24 February 2021.

"When I postponed SPORTEL Monaco to February 2021, the horizon was quite positive, but

today I have to face the reality. We cannot hold an international event in this current sanitary

context. The regulations and health situation in Monaco, France, Europe and the world as a

whole, evolve and change by the day, stating the obvious that the sports industry is not able

to travel and meet face-to-face. However, the vaccine is giving us hope for the near future.

We are not giving up and will continue to work hard to be ready for the day we can organize

an event that can meet the expectations of our clients." said Laurent Puons, CEO of Monaco

Mediax.

SPORTEL Teams are working on the 2021 calendar, which may be adapted depending on the

evolution of the pandemic.

SPORTEL Monaco will be back from 5 to 7 October, reuniting the entire sports media and

tech community to rebuild and reshape the industry.

Finally, while preserving its DNA of face-to-face events, which enable deal making and

networking, a series of free to attend webinars will launch beginning in March 2021.

Following the success of a collaborative esports webinar organised last November, SPORTEL

will continue to connect with the sports business community digitally. Industry heavyweights

and dynamic innovators will discuss key industry trends emerging through the disruptive

COVID climate including: navigating media rights negotiations, ‘crossover’ partnerships

between parallel ecosystems such as esports, exciting new tech and digital evolutions and

more.
