BEYOND SOCCER SERIES DEBUTS IN SAN FRANCISCO
The first edition of the Beyond Soccer Series powered by streetfootballworld will make an exciting debut in San Francisco on June 23rd. Hosted at the world-renowned SFJAZZ Center, the exclusive evening will gather Influential figures from the global and US soccer industry for an evening of insight and collaboration. Following a series of successful events in Cape Town, London, and New York, the Beyond Soccer Series powered by streetfootballworld will be supported by Official Partners Major League Soccer (MLS) and Barclay’s as the event is introduced to the West Coast for the first time.
The evening is dedicated to convening leaders from sports and business to discuss the role that soccer can play in creating sustainable and enduring social change. Landing in San Francisco for the first time, the event will focus on technological innovation and digital media, the influence they can have on the soccer industry, and how that influence enhances the both sport’s appeal as well as its ability to tackle social challenges.
Speaking of the exciting move to San Francisco, Beyond Sport Founder Nick Keller added:
“The soccer industry in the US has undergone rapid transformation, both in terms of grass roots participation and fan engagement on a global level. This growth offers tremendous opportunity for deeper integration into communities from east to west coast. It is fitting that our first west coast event should take place is a city is a hub for so many organizations that understand accelerated growth and international markets.”
Previous speakers at the Beyond Soccer Series include Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber, Soccer United Marketing President Kathy Carter, UNICEF USA CEO Caryl Stern, International Rescue Committee CEO David Miliband and soccer legend and NYCFC Head Coach Patrick Vieira. The Beyond Soccer Series will return to New York for the second edition of 2016 later in the year.
