Rugby Expo 2010 Rugby To Italy ready to attend the second edition of the great event in London, November 2010
Rugby Expo 2008
Rugby To Italy attended the first edition of the Rugby Expo 2008 held in London
Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, 17-18 November 2008:
Rugby Expo launched in London as the world's first conference and
exhibition dedicated solely to the sport of Rugby.
Since turning professional at the top level in 1995, the Game has
come a long way and in response to that journey the new conference bills itself as 'the meeting place for the rugby industry,
bringing together the top decision makers in both union and league with key contacts, sponsors and suppliers to network, do
business and learn from industry leaders in a comprehensive conference programme'.
"It's the first time that rugby as an industry has had a business-to-business
conference and exhibition and I think that was lacking," said IRB Head of Communications Greg Thomas. (from www.rugbyexpo.com)
