TEAMS Conference + Expo 2026 in Birmingham, Alabama

TEAMS: Travel, Events and Management in Sports is the flagship gathering of the sports-event industry, presented by SportsTravel and hosted in 2026 by the Greater Birmingham CVB. Since its launch in 1998, it has become the reference point where rights holders, destinations, venues, hotels and suppliers define the deals that shape the sporting calendar. Across four days, the conference combines an appointment-based trade show with unrivaled networking, one-to-one meetings between event organizers and host cities, and educational programming built around tourism economics and the Olympic and Paralympic movement through the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic SportsLink initiative. More than 1,300 participants attend each edition, including CEOs, executive directors and event managers from sports organizations, plus representatives from sports commissions, convention bureaus, corporate sponsors and hospitality suppliers. If your business depends on sporting events, TEAMS is where the industry meets to plan the year ahead.
