IMG Speakers and clients are highlighted in the October issue of M&C, the go-to magazine for the meetings and conventions industry. The article focuses on the London 2012 Olympic games and subsequently, the increased interest in booking Olympians for private and public events.
“There’s always an increase in the number of booking inquiries in an Olympic year leading up to the Games,” says Alex Alton, vice president of New York City-based IMG Speakers. “Demand is especially high for gold medal winners and legendary Olympians. Whether it’s for an Olympic-themed meeting, on-site hospitality or a post-games corporate event, we expect the trend to continue throughout 2012.”
“Groups typically seek out high-energy speakers who can share their experiences in goal setting and overcoming adversity. Audiences want to be inspired and hear about the dedication, perseverance and other qualities it takes to become a champion,” notes Alton.
The article features popular IMG clients Bart Conner & Nadia Comaneci, soccer star Julie Foudy, and four-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson.
