Direct Sportslink is a leading provider of sports talent for convention clients looking for a motivational sports speaker or sports celebrity appearance. Many of our requests include using the talent as the convention keynote speaker to start or conclude the convention, at a private reception during the event to impress guests, or having the celebrity sign autographs and take pictures at the client's booth.

Direct Sportslink has the resources and extensive talent database to match the ideal sports talent for your specific industry convention. For example, Direct Sportslink secured Mike Eruzione for Nortel Networks at the Voice Con Convention in 2009. Nortel Networks is a 2010 Winter Olympic sponsor. Mike Eruzione is best known for being the Captain of the 1980 United States Men's Gold Medal winning hockey team ("Miracle On Ice") that defeated the heavily favored Soviet Union and then Finland to win the Gold Medal. Mike Eruzione was available for a public autograph signing and meet and greet during convention hours. Afterwards, he was available at a private Nortel reception for their invited customers and guests. The client designed specific Nortel Networks hockey pucks with the 2010 Olympic logo identifying Nortel as an official sponsor of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver that Mike signed as souvenirs for the private reception guests.

Below are a few popular sports speakers for industry specific conventions:

The most common conventions are based upon industry, profession, and fandom. Trade conventions typically focus on a particular industry and feature keynote speakers, vendor displays, and other information and activities of interest to the event organizers and attendees. Fan conventions usually feature displays, shows, and sports celebrity appearances such an an autograph signing convention show. Conventions also exist for various hobbies, such as gaming which could benefit from an appearance by one of the more popular celebrity poker players or poker stars.

Planning for a convention often requires enormous detail by a professional meeting planner. Direct Sportslink will help the convention planner secure the best available sports talent for a speaking engagement or appearance. Most large cities will have a convention center dedicated to hosting such events, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Dallas. Direct Sportslink has sports talent available in all major cities. We can provide immediate fee quotes for any sports celebrity.

Not every convention is a corporate event, association, or trade industry. A convention can also be religious, such as Christian meetings in any state such as Florida, California, or Pennsylvania benefiting from a Christian motivational speakers appearance.
