Francis Tellier, the CEO of Host Broadcast Services, which will be responsible for the broadcast operation that will allow billions around the world to share the FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010, has joined the speaker line-up for Sports Event Management ’09 at the Shaw Theatre, London on November 10.

Tellier joins an impressive line-up of sports industry thought-leaders at what promises to be a landmark conference for the sector.

Elsewhere on the programme, three of the event world’s best-respected thought-leaders will deliver their unique insights into ways of measuring the value of hosting major sports events.
Sheikh Saoud Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Secretary General of the progressive and ambitious Qatar Olympic Committee will join Dan Jones, Head of the Sport Business Group at Deloitte and Lars Lundov, Chief Executive of Sport Event Denmark, for a session which will identify and assess ways of engaging the true economic and social benefit of event hosting.
