The Scots-born businessman will meet the Edinburgh promoters and those of other teams at the three-day annual conference which starts in Coventry today.
"I called John Campbell and Alex Harkess [co-promoters at Edinburgh Monarchs for the past two decades] and wished them the best of luck next season," he said. "Not only do I, and Glasgow, want Edinburgh to survive, but we wish for them to thrive for the sake of Scottish speedway. We definitely need each other."
