 “We
are thrilled to announce the co-location of the NCSG Symposium with the
TEAMS Conference & Expo,” said Timothy Schneider, president and CEO
of Schneider Publishing, which publishes SportsTravel magazine and
organizes the TEAMS Conference. “Members of the National Congress of State
Games organize large-scale events that bring together athletes and spectators
in states all across the nation. We look forward to this partnership and
helping the State Games’ movement to continue to grow.”
“The
National Congress of State Games looks forward to holding our symposium
with the TEAMS Conference and appreciates the opportunity to work with
TEAMS in the future,” said Dan Duffy, president of the National Congress
of State Games. “The education and networking opportunities available at
TEAMS will be extremely beneficial to our members and help increase awareness
of State Games.”
Each
year, nearly 500,000 athletes of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels
participate in State Games competitions nationwide, and an additional 1.2
million spectators attend State Games events. The National
Congress of State Games organizes the State Games of America, a biennial
amateur multisport event held in North America.
The
announcement of the partnership was made at the closing session of TEAMS
’15 in Las Vegas, which featured a briefing by the Los Angeles 2024 Olympic
Bid Committee, an interview with legendary sports executive Harvey Schiller
and a surprise performance from the “Jersey Boys,” recently named Las Vegas’
longest running Broadway show.

TEAMS
Conference & Expo is organized by Los Angeles–based Schneider
