Sunset Sports Festival
Our Story
FIVE YEARS OF BUILDING SOMETHING REAL
Sunset Sports Festival was born from a simple conviction: the most meaningful conversations in the sports industry don’t happen in sterile conference halls — they happen where inspiration is at its peak.
In 2022, we brought together a select group of sports executives, media professionals and innovators in Zadar. The setting was extraordinary, the conversations even more so.
Five editions in, our mission remains the same — create the conditions for genuine connection, bold ideas and partnerships that shape the future of sport.
WHAT DEFINES US
NOT YOUR AVERAGE CONFERENCE
Boutique by design
We deliberately keep the festival small. Fewer attendees means deeper conversations, more meaningful connections and zero filler content. Quality over quantity — always.
World-class speakers
Our stage has welcomed names like Alessandro Del Piero, Peter Schmeichel, Bill Belichick, Ray Lewis, Julian Edelman and Stipe Miočić — leaders who have shaped the sports world.
Business that actually happens
Panels, workshops and networking sessions built around one goal: helping sports professionals forge partnerships that move the industry forward. No empty talk.
Experience beyond the stage
Boat parties on the Adriatic, sunset receptions, gala opening at the heart of the city — because the best deals are made outside the conference room. Every edition is a full experience.
THE SETTING
ZADAR — MORE THAN JUST A BACKDROP
Zadar is no coincidence. A city where Roman ruins meet the Adriatic, where the world’s most famous sunset draws visitors from every corner of the globe — and where an unmistakable energy fuels the kind of creative thinking that conferences in glass towers simply can’t replicate.
Alfred Hitchcock once called Zadar’s sunset the most beautiful in the world. We think it makes for the best possible setting for conversations that matter.
