About Us

Welcome to Careers in Sport LIVE, your gateway to an exciting future in the sports industry. At Careers in Sport, we are committed to empowering individuals to achieve their career ambitions in the dynamic world of sports and fitness.

Inception of Careers in Sport

Careers in Sport was established as the go-to organisation for careers advisors, students, and professionals seeking insights into the diverse opportunities available throughout the sports sector. For almost 20 years we’ve been providing comprehensive advice through our careers hub, jobs board, university directory and more.

Birth of the National Sports Roadshow

We launched ‘The National Sports Roadshow’, our first major event series hosted at universities across England, Scotland, and Wales. These roadshows offered a platform for employers, students, and professionals to interact with one another, whilst also featuring a selection of presentations, seminars, and interactive zones covering careers in sports, exercise and health.

Transition to Careers in Sport LIVE

After the success of 25 National Sports Roadshows, it was time for our events to evolve into Careers in Sport LIVE. This transition allowed us to provide even more immersive and impactful experiences for students, universities, employers and sports professionals. Our venues also moved from universities to iconic sports venues, including Anfield (Liverpool), Edgbaston Cricket Ground (Birmingham) and Selhurst Park (London).

Careers in Sport LIVE Today

Our Careers in Sport LIVE events are now well-established and offer an unparalleled in-person experience for students and young professionals alike, serving to unveil the diverse professions within the sports sector.

Our latest wave of events will see us hosting attendees at iconic venues including the Principality Stadium (Cardiff), Aintree Racecourse (Liverpool) and the Amex Stadium (Brighton).
