Welcome to episode 127 of Sports Management Podcast.

This episode is recording from when I was asked to moderate a panel for my old college Deree – The American College of Greece. They have an annual event called Frontrunners in Sports Management and this was the 5^th edition. The topic was Marketing and Communications of sustainability in sports and it really resonated with the audience.

The panelists were Dr. Michael Anagnostou and Ms Josephine Traberg and they really brought the knowledge!

I hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as I did and let me know afterwards what you thought about it.
