Sport for Business will be there through the afternoon on social media and will carry a report on what was said in tomorrow morning’s Daily Digest.
The Conference will also include input from Dublin GAA Manager Jim Gavin, Irish Institute of Sport Director Gary Keegan, Olympic Council of Ireland President Pat Hickey and CEO of Swim Ireland Sarah Keane.
There will be a keynote address from the Chairman of the English Institute of Sport John Steele.
The annual conference is a good opportunity for the leading administrators in sport to gather and learn. It has also proven to be a platform for real engagement with political leaders with Ministers Leo Varadkar and Paschal Donohue using it to lay out policy and aspirations in the three years in which it has taken place.
There is a good commercial involvement as well with Sport for Business members Fáilte Ireland, Coca Cola, MyClubFinances, Atomic Sport, Sportsjobs.ie, Sport Ireland, Leman Solicitors and Dublin City Council all playing a part in supporting the day.
The Hashtag for the event if you wish to follow on social media is #FISCON16.
We wish the day well and look forward to seeing many of you there.
