Following last year’s successful launch, our sports law conference, HÄRTING.SPORT.EVENT, is back for its second edition.

This time, the focus is on the theme “After the World Cup comes the Olympics: Major events in the context of sports law”. World Cups and the Olympic Games are not only sporting highlights, but also major events involving highly complex legal issues. We would like to present and discuss, in a relaxed atmosphere, the questions that organisers, politicians and spectators face when planning, implementing and marketing such events.

Joining us will be Kaweh Niroomand (Berlin’s Olympic Commissioner), Željko Ristić (outreach gGmbH) and Dr Julius Y. Becker (Head of Legal at OneFootball GmbH).
