<h2>Interview with Laurent Puons</h2>
Bolavip: You stressed the importance of having events like Sportel as a face-to-face event, why do you think that is important for networking?
Laurent Puons: From my point of view, if you want to succeed with planned events you need to provide the best business. Sportel is the best event for that, we have more than 18 new companies at this event, meaning there are 18 new business opportunities in our community. The goal each year is to have new companies at the event, thatis the key.

BV: Here in Miami both the Sports business and regular businesses are growing, what is your expectation for Sportel and this business networking that you hope go together?
LP: Simple, we will be back in Miami next year and maybe in 2024, Miami is perfect not only for the weather, but the potential of the development of Sportel in this city is important… Am sure our community prefers to come to Miami than another city in America.
BV: Here in Miami, there are a lot of people from Latin America who are soccer fans, is soccer a major focus for Sportel?
LP: Yes, our goal this year was to attract a lot of delegates from South America, because the potential of soccer is very important to Sportel. This year the percentage of the participation from the region is quite important. Of course, I want to develop this participation because it is important for the urban community to meet not only the South American community but also the South American (executive) because there is a lot of business there.
