Sport for Business will host a special conference on Children and Sport as a new event for 2024.
This event will be held on September 19th at Explorium, the Sport and Science Centre in Sandyford, Dublin, from 0930 until 1300.
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 as part of the Conference, looking at 24 projects and initiatives making a difference in this area.
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.
As with all Sport for Business events, this is as much about the room as it is about the stage. It presents an opportunity to meet your peers, and what better way could there be to re-engage and see what has changed after a summer of spectacular and inspiring sport?
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.
