It’s THE networking opportunity of the year for our sector, providing an opportunity to unite together, showcase your solutions, explore the opportunities that are arising within the sport and education sectors and look forward to the exciting potential of the coming years.
Each year our conference programme attracts PE Teachers, Heads of Sport, Head teachers and other key educators looking for new and innovative ways to deliver physical activity in their school.
