“When developing this conference, we recognized a gap in current conference offerings, and a need within the industry to support higher-level executives of running events who are looking for the best and newest strategies that will take their business to the next level,” said Alex Vander Hoeven, CEO of Race Roster, an ASICS-owned registration platform. “Where many conferences support the important operations and mechanics of making an event happen, The Business of Running Events Conference will provide an opportunity for industry leaders to learn essential leadership skills, as well as business and marketing tactics that they can take back and execute with their larger teams, and ultimately grow their revenue.”
