Action Sports, Extreme Sports...call it what you want. The fact is it has captured the attention of a free-spending marketing demographic ó a primarily male audience ages 12-34. As participation levels grow at an unprecedented pace, more and more brands are reaching out to this lucrative market segment. But, the biggest challenge facing mainstream (non-endemic) brands ó and even traditional (endemic) action sports sponsors ó is how to deliver their message to this hard-to-reach generation that spends over $200 billion annually and influences another $300-400 billion in expenditures. And understanding the related dynamics ó media, merchandising, athlete representation, fashion, music, event sponsorship ó of the evolving action sports movement.

At SportsBusiness Journalís 2002 Action Sports Summit participants will have the opportunity to hear from organizations that are successfully reaching the youth market and active-lifestyle adults via action sports, including AT&T, Chevrolet, Mountain Dew, EA Sports, Fuse, Vans, Tony Hawk Foundation, Acclaim, Burton Snowboards, Extreme Group, The Familie, Activision, and many more.
