We are live this morning at Explorium in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains for the inaugural Sport for Business Children and Sport Conference.
We will cover campaigns and initiatives at primary and post-primary levels, speaking to those planning and executing projects and the children who should be central to what is being decided on their behalf.
We will publish a report after the Conference, looking at 24 projects and initiatives making a difference in this area, and reflecting on what we hear today from our brilliant line-up of speakers.
This will be a meeting of leaders from sports, business, and education to explore some of the activities that enable children to become more active and learn a greater enjoyment of sports. It will also explore ways in which we might do things even better.
We are delighted to partner with Allianz Ireland and Sport Ireland to make this an event that will set the agenda for how we can create best-in-class partnerships that lead to best-in-class outcomes for current and future generations.
This event will be of interest to those involved in sports, sponsorship, education, and improving society.
