NSMN Mission Statement

National Sports Marketing Network (NSMN) is the trade organization for the sports business industry. Founded in 1998 by Jennifer Karpf, NSMN includes more than 8,000 individual and corporate members with chapters in 11 major markets and members in more than 45 U.S. cities.

The national organization is dedicated to the advancement of the sports business industry through professional development counseling, networking, and the production of thought-provoking, issue-oriented seminars created to raise the level of discourse on critical sports industry issues.

In addition to producing must-attend panel discussions in each local market, NSMN hosts the Sports Licensing Summit each year in New York City.

Last December, NSMN's Chicago Chapter produced the first-ever sports sponsor "Think-Tank" conference featuring the industry's largest brand spenders who gathered to exchange ideas via group discussion.

Membership is annual and open only to professionals who work in sports business.
