1. Our mission is to create and manage events that provide environments which
develop quality relationships, resulting in business growth. We do this by providing
exclusive venues and access, as well as celebrity athletes who share their personal
insights into the events from a Champion’s perspective. Stan Smith Events has
produced events over the past 18 years around the majors in golf and tennis, the
Summer and Winter Olympic Games, FIFA and Rugby World Cups, the Super Bowl,
NCAA Final Four, and the Ryder Cup. We have also hosted golf outings in the US,
Scotland, Ireland, and Spain at top-ranked golf courses and resorts, in addition to
business meetings and partnership conferences around the world.
Chairman of Stan Smith Events, Stan serves as a celebrity co-host for the daily operation of the events. Because
of his acclaim and relationships with major corporations, sports celebrities and organizations, opportunities are
created for environments that make each event exciting, exclusive and thoroughly remarkable. He is an integral
component in the daily schedules, the interviewing and engaging of athletes, relationships and contacts that
link clients directly with the events and the athletic talent. He is present and participates in the events and daily
activities. With a myriad of wins and titles, including World #1, U.S Open and Wimbledon, Stan Smith is known
worldwide as a legend of his sport, but also for his sportsmanship and his courtesy both on and off the court.

which brings an unparalleled experience to the attendees. With his background as a professional athlete,
speaker and coach, Gary’s event experience has involved many key areas of the event planning and execution
process in order to create an environment where relationships between the client and their guests are
