Sport Positive Summit
Sport Positive Summit
Sport positive summit convenes sports leaders from accross the globe to support the advance towards sustainability.
We've all been through the ringer this year, with so much disruption to our global sport calendar, and while things still aren't back to normal, it's been so heartening to see sport begin again, even behind closed doors.
While we still think about those who have been directly impacted by COVID-19 every day, our community must still come together, to continue to drive our work forward in combatting climate change.
So the Sport Positive Summit is coming to you virtually! We've had to change things up from our programme in March; with a global audience we can't have the full 2-day live agenda that we had planned. We're condensing our live content into 3 hours each day, but there will be additional content, the opportunity to network and partake in 1-2-1 meetings across the entire 48 hours of the Summit, no matter what timezone you are on.
More info on all aspects of the Sport Positive Summit are coming your way in short order, so keep an eye on the website and your email for those.
